It is fastest from Solid to Liquid to Gas.
The next phase of matter after a gas is a plasma as in the solar wind.
They travel fastest through air.
Slowest: Solid intermediate: Liquid Fastest: Gas
Light travels fastest through empty space.
The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
They travel fastest through air.
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel

Light travels fastest through empty space.
Sound travels slower through less dense matter because sound is the result of molecules hitting each other. When there are fewer molecules for the vibrating molecules to bump into, sound travels slower.
Sound travels through all matter.
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.

Maybe its the slowest in solids because the particles on it is compressed or tightly squeezed.While in gas, they are the fastest because the particles moves freely because gas is the most spacious matter of the 4.

Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
