What can affect the speed at which sound travels?
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
What does sound travel slowest in?
by air
Where does the sound travel slowest through?
wood
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.

What does sound travel slowest in?
by air
Where does the sound travel slowest through?
wood
What medium travel the slowest in?
metal,wood and then brick. yes all the basics
Which one of the media does sound travel slowest through?
Air.
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
Which among materials does sound travel slowest 1 air 2 glass 3 water 4 wood?
Air because sound travels fastest in solids, medium in liquids, and slow in gases
Does sound travel best through solids liquids or gases?
The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it is traveling. Sound travels fastest through solids, then liquids, and slowest through gases. As the molecules in a solid medium are closely packed together, sound waves can travel more quickly through it. Sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. The molecules in a liquid medium are also more close together than a gaseous medium, so sound travels 4 times faster in fresh water as compared to air. In a gas, sound can travel only when molecules collide with each other, and as the molecules are quite far apart, the speed is slowest in gases.
Through which material does sound travel slowest?
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.
What is needed for sound to travel?
Sound requires a medium to travel
