pressure waves
longitudinal waves

∙ 14y agoTransverse waves can only pass through solids and on the surface of a fluid (usu. a liquid),
so i assume you are talking about longitudinal waves of which all would pass through solids faster.

Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Sound travels fastely in which solid?
It travels much faster through pine wood than through air.
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
How fast does a sound wave travel through a solid?
The speed of sound through a solid depends upon the density of that solid. The denser the solid, the quicker sound travels.
Sound travels the blank through a solid?
Sound travels the best through a solid. Since the molecules in a solid are closer together than in a gas or liquid the sound waves don't have to travel as far to reach the next molecule.
Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?
Faster.
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Can sound trave through solid?
Yes, but sound travels slower through solids than air.
Does sound travel faster through a tree or air?
Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Do sound waves travel better through a solid liquid or a gas?
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
Does Light travels more slowly through solid materials?
Yes. The more dense the material the slower light travels. Light travels the slowest in diamond at about a third of its normal speed of 300 000 km /s in a vacuum.
Does sound travel best through solids liquids or gas?
In general, sound travels fastest through solids, slightly less fast through liquids, and slower through gases. This is because the particles (atoms or molecules) in a solid are touching each other and rather fixed together. That is why a solid is "solid." In a liquid, the particles are touching each other, but they are not fastened to each other quite so strongly as they are in a solid. Some of sound's energy is wasted pushing the particles around because they can slide past each other. Some of sound's energy is wasted that way and that is why it moves slower. In a gas, the molecules are rather far apart. For sound to travel through a gas, the molecules must move quite a distance before they collide with other molecules. Sound energy cannot move as quickly when the molecules are not in contact with each other.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Waves travel quicker through solid gases?
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Sound travels fastely in which solid?
It travels much faster through pine wood than through air.
How does sound travel differently though solid and gases?
It may seem awkward, but sound actually travels faster through solids than gasses, especially dense solids.
