The denser materials carry the sound waves best. For example if we take 2 objects A and B.
Of these suppose A is denser then B .
Then accordingly speed of sound will be more in A as compared to B.
Sound travels in the form of longitudinal waves.
So for the propagation of sound waves the atoms of material medium are required.
Now if some material has mass density more then other material then definitely the atoms of the material are closer in that substance as compared to other substance.
So it will take less energy in the denser medium for the propagation of sound.
Therefore it will travel faster in the sound.
Hence it is proved that sound travels faster in denser medium.

Sound can best be thought of as?
Pressure waves.
Does sound travel best in a solid a liquid or a gas?
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. The exact speed of sound in steel is 5,960 meters per second (13,332 mph)! But, this is only for the majority of solids. The speed of sound in all solids are not faster than in all liquids.Answer:The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials.A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
What types of materials can sound not travel through?
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.
Which is an example of observation leading to reflection?
It is because of electro magnetic waves.take a rope and fix Its one end and pick another end and make waves on it by hand then we can see the reflection wave on it (2 dimensional). Or take a bucket full of water and drop a very small stone to it. then we can see the formation of waves and reflected waves in it (3 dimensional).
What is the scientific word for speech?
This question is too vague but I will answer it as best I'm able. If you are referring to the actual act of speaking words then it is called the manner of articulation. If you are referring to the audio waves present in the air generated by speech, then you might be looking for phonology in which these units of sound are called phonemes. On the flipside of that if you are referring to the understanding of these audio waves then it is phonetics and these units of sound are called phones. This is why it is called a telephone - it is a method of transmitting phones via telecommunication.
How do you get directions to do which materials carry sound waves best science project?
go to wikipedia
Which materials will carry sound the best - string - twine - rope - or wire?
Of the four materials, wire will carry the sound best because it is the most dense.
What materials can produce sound waves?
Every material transmits sound. Some better than others.
What materials sound can travel through?
sound can travel through air , water and lots more
Sound can best be thought of as?
Pressure waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves why?
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
What string best helps sound waves and vibrations?
wire does it best
What is the best way to send a message to someone sound waves cups and string o shouting as loud as you can?
sound waves because sound travels faster than water

Where do sound wave travel the fastes?
Sound waves travel best through air than anything else.
Which is the best sound absorbing materials in partition walls?
glass wool
What reflects sound waves best?
Any very hard very smooth surface.
