Sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium. Hence through vacuum it cannot pass through

Sound travels fastest in what?

sound travels fastest in solid (about 8x faster)


Sound travels faster through what?

The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.


Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.


Which medium sound travels faster?

solid


What Sound travels best though solid liquid gas?

Sound travels fastest through solids.


In which medium does the sound travel the fastest?

sound travels the fastest through a solid perferably dimond.


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 travel faster through water than air?

yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum


How does sound travels in a solid explain?

Sound is a series of vibrations. In a solid they travel in waves from particle to particle, causing the solid to make a noise.


What Happens To Sound In Vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vaccum due to the fact that sound travels using vibrations and there is nothing to vibrate in a vaccum. for example on earth there is air for sound to travel through but in a vaccum there is no air. And in all those battle scenes in star wars where you hear lasers firing through space and spaceships flying past you shouldn't be able to hear them :)


Do sound travel faster in water or in air or solids?

Sound can't move in vaccum and need particles to move, it travels fastest in solids as it has highest amount of particles.
