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
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.
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.

States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
What season would allow sound to travel the fastest?
Summer
Can sound travel through a vaccum?
Sound is basically the vibration of atoms or molecules of a solid, liquid, or gas that propgate throughout the medium. Sound MUST have a medium to travel through; if there were no medium there to vibrate in, it would have no frequency and therefore would not be able to be heard. Since a vacuum is a space devoid of all matter, there would be no medium for the sound waves to propgate in, so therefore, no sound.
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.
What is the medium sound from a stereo would travel through?
air!
What is it that sound cannot travel through?
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
Where is the speed of sound generally fastest?
in clean air, not in outer space like some would say because outer space is void of matter and sound needs a medium to travel through.
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
What is the name of speed of sound?
The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
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.
