Always longitudinal.
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
solids
In solids, sound travels through the vibration of molecules in a compressional wave. In liquids, sound also travels through compressional waves but with less resistance to movement compared to solids. In gases, sound travels through the propagation of pressure waves created by vibrating molecules.
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
Sound travels as a wave through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. The vibrations of particles in the medium create pressure changes that propagate as sound waves.
Sound travels the fastest through non-porous solids.
Sound travels through solids the fastest, as the particles in solids are closely packed, enabling vibrations to propagate quickly. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, as the particles are less tightly packed. In gases, sound travels slowest due to the large distance between particles, causing vibrations to propagate more slowly.
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
It travels best through solids
Sound travels 16 times faster in solids then in air.
