What travels the slowest sound or Light?
Sound travels much more slowly than light. This is why we see the flash of lightning before we hear the thunder.
Does sound travel better though air or water?
Sound travels better and faster in air because air has a lower density than water and the sound vibrations can travel faster through them and with more accuracy, whereas in water the vibrations slowly die out and do not travel well because the density of the water will likely muffle and obstruct the sound waves. sound travels better in air than in water as sound travels in vibrations.. it travels faster in water than in air but it travels better in air.....
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
Which Of The Following Does Sound Waves Travel Most Slowly Through An Iron Pole A Block Of Maplewood A Pool Of Fresh Water Or An Area Of Dry Air?
AIRbecause the particles are spread apart
Do Light waves travel more slowly through air and water?
It travels faster thru air

Do sound waves travel faster in water or in cooking oil?
I would say the water is quicker Sound travels fastest through more dense materials. Oil is more is less dense than water, meaning that sound travels faster through water than oil.

AIRbecause the particles are spread apart
What object does light travel through more slowly a vacuum water or glass?
Light travels very slowly in glass compared to water and vacuum
Why do you hear thunderclaps after the lightning flash?
Because the thunder (sound) propagates or travels far more slowly than the light. (lightening)
Do Light waves travel more slowly through air and water?
It travels faster thru air
Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
How fast does sound travel through matter?
Sound travels at a speed that is dependent on density. As a rule the more dense the material the faster sound travels. In air, mach 1 (the speed of sound) is about 750 MPH. In water it is about 3316 MPH. (Water is much denser than air.)
Which travels more swiftly sound or steel?
Sound
What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?
Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
