The speed of sound is fastest in what type of matter?
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
Sound will travel fastest in air at?
The speed of sound increases with pressure, so close to the Earth's surface.
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.
Is sound the fastest speed possible?
No!...Speed of light is the fastest speed possible, but now a new particle called lepton is more faster than light...rather it is has the fastest speed discovered till now.It travels in the same wave as light travels i.e tranverse waves.
How did the Concorde speed compare with the speed of sound?
The Concorde flew at Mach 2. This means it flew two times more than the speed of sound. It was the fastest passenger aircraft ever built.
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?

Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
Can tornadoes travel faster then the speed of sound?
No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
What is the fastest an earthquake can travel?

The fastest speed of a SR-71A Blackbird?
Mach 3.2 which is 3.2 X the speed of sound
What material does sound travel the fastest?
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.
Sound will travel fastest in air at?
The speed of sound increases with pressure, so close to the Earth's surface.
What happens to a Harrier when it travels faster than the speed of sound?
There are different variations of Harriers in service, the fastest has a top speed of 735mph(.96mach) slower than the speed of sound.
