Sound waves are carried by the disturbing the molecules in particular medium. The molecules bounce off one another, carrying the wave. In solids and liquids, the molecules are close together than in gases. It takes less time for the close molecules to bounce off each other, thus carrying the sound wave faster.
Sound waves are the vibrations of atoms. As the atom moves, it bumps the next atom in line thus moving the sound wave. In air, the atoms are spaced far apart and so the sound loses speed as the atom moves to the next. In liquids and solids, the atoms are so close together, bumping the first atom will result in the last one moving almost instantly. Think of it this way: if you push one marble through a tube, it will take a while to reach the other end. If the tube was full of marbles, the marble nearest the end will exit the tube quickly, like sound waves.
because waves travel faster through denser materials like the above materials.
Particles are closer together, therefore reflect off eachother sooner
due its longitudinal nature
The molecules are more densely packed.
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound. Use the link below for more information.
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Speed of sound is usually highest in solids and slowest in gasses, with liquid being somewhere inbetween.
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
sound
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.
sound waves
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.
liquids i have done the experiment my self
Speed of sound is usually highest in solids and slowest in gasses, with liquid being somewhere inbetween.
