Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?
No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
How many times faster does sound travel through steel than through air?
15 times faster
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air?
As wave is a type of disturbance and propagates through atom to atom of the medium and in case of steel atoms(molecules) are much closer as compared to atoms(molecules) so sound waves travel faster in steel than in air.
Which material allows sound to travel 4 times faster than in water?
