The speed of sound depends only on the material it's traveling through, not on
the source of the sound. In general, the speed is higher in more-dense media,
like steel, water, and rock, then it is in less-dense media, like air.
Solids transmit sound the fastest, then liquids, then gases
empty space
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
Sound waves
sound travels fastest in solid (about 8x faster)
longitudinal
Sound travels fastest through nonporous solids such as iron.
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.
Sound waves
sound travels fastest in solid (about 8x faster)
No. It does not transmit the sound waves.
Elastic
Solid
longitudinal
yes
No
no light is the fastest on earth
Sound travels fastest through nonporous solids such as iron.
