Generally everywave will travel the fastest through solids. These waves include sound, and other vibrational waves. But Electro Magnetic Radiation wave along with light will slow down and can very well change direction mid stream.
They travel quite fast through slate

∙ 9y agoSeismic waves are of two types the P waves and the S waves. The P waves are the first stronger waves that travel through solids and liquids and the S waves are the follow up waves that can travel only through solids. The velocity of the waves depends on the nature of medium it travels through. The denser the material, the faster the seismic waves travel. The P waves travel at about 5000 m/sec in granite.

Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
Which waves are fastest?
Primary waves as they travel like a worm, compressing and then expanding
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. it is the fastest of all the waves.
What earthquake waves travel the fastest?
P waves travel faster than S waves. P waves use less energy to travel, while S waves have to use more. This is because P waves travel in a forward and back motion such as a push and pull motion. S waves have to travel in the Earth like how a snake moves, side to side. This takes more energy than just moving like a push and pull motion.
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses

Which waves are fastest?
Primary waves as they travel like a worm, compressing and then expanding
What waves travel the fastest?
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave

Do surface p waves travel fastest?
Yes, unlike s waves

S waves have to travel in the Earth like how a snake moves, side to side. This takes more energy than just moving like a push and pull motion.
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses
Do p waves vibrate at 90 percent to the wave motion?
They travel the fastest through rocks.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.
What earthquakes waves are the fastest?
P or Primary waves are the fastest earthquake or seismic waves.
