Sound travels fastest in a solid because the particles are closely packed meaning the particles can pass the sound wave on without any gaps in between. It travels through a gas the slowest as the particles are spaced out meaning they only occasionally bump into each other to pass on the sound wave.

Which medium would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
Sound travels fastest in which medium and why?
sound would travel faster in a solid because it is a denser object for the soundwaves to travel through
Which of these would allow sound to travel fastest air wood or water?
wood
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
Which medium would sound travel the fastest?

Which of these would allow sound to travel fastest air wood or water?
wood
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
Which material will sound travel the fastest?
sound would travel through solids fastest since their molecules are more closely packed,hence vibrations are easily conveyed unlike other states of matter.
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
In which medium does the sound travel the fastest?
sound travels the fastest through a solid perferably dimond.
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
