Want this question answered?
Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a medium for propagation. Since the particles in a solid are close together, the sound energy is propagated way faster in solids rather than liquids and gases whose particles are not as close.
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
It travels faster in a liquid than in a gas, but it would travel faster still in a solid.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids, then liquids and gases. This is because sound waves requires medium in order to travel. Solid's particles are very tightly packed with each other thus sound gets more medium to travel faster. Liquid particles are less close to each other and gas is the least. Temperature also increases the speed of sound. higher the temperature, higher the speed of sound.
A solid has atoms which are more tightly packed and has less energy than gases or liquids so they can't move that much. Liquids and gases move faster because they have more energy which comes from heat.
i dont know i was gunna ask this!!
Solid
Yes, it does. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together than in a gas, and the sound can therefore move more easily from one particle to the next, making the sound travel faster.
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
Much faster in a solid
How can a solid rock travel faster than a car
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
They travel faster through solids
Gases particles move through and faster than the particles in a solid
Gases particles move through and faster than the particles in a solid
Solid
Sounds travel faster in solid materials than any other materials.
