Sound travels slowest through solids because the particles in a solid are packed closely together, leading to more interactions and collisions between particles. This results in a slower transmission of sound waves through the material.
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.
sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecules in the air are farther apart. Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest. Age: 15 Name: Rachel Thanks for reading! <3
Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.
The phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels fastest through solids because the particles are closer together and can easily transmit vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower due to the looser arrangement of particles, and in gases, sound travels slowest because the particles are widely spaced.
Light travels slowest through materials with a higher refractive index, such as glass or diamond. This is because the speed of light in a material is inversely proportional to its refractive index.

sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecule sin the air are farther apart. Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest then water and then granite was all I learned . Also Saltwater is faster then water becaus e there more salt so air goes through it faster.
Sound travels slowest through gas, as molecules are farther apart compared to liquids and solids, leading to decreased speed of sound waves passing through.
Yes, the speed of sound is affected by the medium through which it travels. Sound travels faster in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases due to differences in the elasticity and density of the mediums.
Sound travels slowest through d) wood. Wood is a solid material and sound waves travel slower in solids compared to liquids and gases like air, glass, and water.
Well sound would travel the slowest - i.e not at all - in a vacuum. However, for simplistic terms, rubber is actually the slowest that sound will travel through of common objects. I don't know but something like sodium at 3K might be a lot slower.
