Depends on what they are traveling through- the denser the substance, the faster sound moves. It travels faster through water than through air. In air, the greater the air pressure, the faster it moves (denser air). The lower the temperature, faster the speed (cold air is dense).

At sea level, 20 degrees Celsius, sound travels through air at 1126.547 ft/second- or about 768.095 mph

How fast do waves, such as sound waves or ocean waves, travel?

Waves, like sound waves and ocean waves, travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. Sound waves travel at about 343 meters per second in air, while ocean waves can travel at speeds ranging from 1 to 60 kilometers per hour.


What are similarities of light and sound?

They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.


How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?

The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.


What does sound travel on?

Waves; sound waves.


How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.


What can sound waves not travel in?

sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)


How do sound waves travel to a satellite?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.


How fast do sound waves travel in kilometers per hour?

Sound travels at 1,225.044 kilometers per hour at sea level.


Area which wound waves are pushed apart?

A sound wave is essentially fast changing sound pressure. Longitudinal sound waves need a medium to travel through in order to exist.


How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?

You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.


Sound waves cannot travel on the?

Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
