Your question needs to be defined more clearly,
do you mean through which medium does sound travel the fastest?
If so, in general the more dense the medium is the faster the sound wave travels; sound travels through Air (a gas) slower than through water (a liquid) because the sound is transmitted by the molecules colliding therefore the more dense the medium the easier the force is transmitted in a direction.
It is also for this reason why sound can not travel through a vacuum (there are no particles in a vacuum to transmit the sound wave)
What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of sound dependent on frequency?
No, the speed of sound is not dependent on frequency. It is determined by the medium through which the sound waves travel.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.
What is the speed of a cruise missile?
The speed of a cruise missile can vary depending on the type and model, but generally, they can travel at speeds ranging from subsonic (less than the speed of sound) to supersonic (faster than the speed of sound). Some cruise missiles can travel at speeds exceeding 600 mph.
How slow or fast can sound vibrations go?
It depends very much on the medium which the sound has to travel through. Sound will not travel through a vacuum at all. Sound will travel faster through materials that are more dense, so that the speed of sound through solids and liquids is faster than the speed of sound through gases. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is faster at sea level than the speed of sound at high altitude. Generally, the speed of sound through air at sea level and normal temperatures is about 340 metres per second, while the speed of sound through a steel bar is about 5000 metres per second. However, the speed of sound through solids can be two different discrete values, depending on the mode of vibration propagation - compression waves or slower shear waves.
What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
What speed does sound travel through iron?
Sound travels through iron at a speed of approximately 5120 meters per second.
How fast can a jet travel?
The world's fasted jet-powered aircraft is the SR-71 Blackbird. This jet can flay more than Mach 3.3 (3.3 times the speed of sound).
Can sound travel through other kinds of material than air if so does it travel differently?
Sound can travel through all matter. The speed at which it travels depends on the density of the material.
What is the speed of sound through paper?
Sound waves need matter to travel through, and wood is matter, so yes, sound waves travel through wood. They travel through wood faster than they do through air, as wood is denser than air.
How far will a sonar pulse travel in 45 seconds?
It will depend on the speed of sound in the medium. Sonar is often used for underwater location and the speed of sound through water is quite different from the speed of sound through air.
At what speed does sound travel through water?
Depending on the temperature and the salt content of the water the speed of sound through water is approximately 5,300 kph (3,300 mph)
What is the name of speed of sound?
The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
