Why do you think sound usually travel fastest through solids but light usually travel slowest through solids?
As you know, light is electromagnetic wave. While sound is mechanical wave, Sound requires a medium to travel, and sound offers best condition for it. While light is enegry packates (photons) and solids hinder its path making it slower.
Does light travel fastest through solids liquids gases or empty spaces?
Light travels fastest through empty spaces, as there are fewer particles to interact with and slow it down. In solids and liquids, the particles are closely packed together, causing light to travel slower. In gases, the particles are more spread out than in solids and liquids, so light travels faster than in those states but slower than in empty spaces.
Do granulated solids flow faster or slower than powdered solids through a funnel?
the granulated solids travel slower than powdered due to granulated have grains and it take time for it to travel through a funnel and it could get clumped up at the bottom of the funnel .As powdered it passes through not clumps
Can light travel through solids liquids and gases?
Yes, light can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The speed and ability of light to travel through these mediums may vary depending on their optical properties, such as density and composition. In solids and liquids, light may experience absorption and scattering, while in gases, it may travel relatively more freely.
Which type of wave travels slower through gasses than it does through solids?
Sound waves travel slower through gases than through solids. This is because gases have lower density and stiffness compared to solids, which affects the speed of sound waves traveling through them.

Why does light travel slower in solids than in empty spaces?
the velocity/speed of light is fastest in a vacuum, slower in air , slower yet in liquids and slowest in solids. the reason for this is the density of the medium. density is the amount of mass contained in a unit volume of space. solids have alot more mass in the same unit volume than any other medium. this makes it difficult for light waves to penetrate through it and alot of light if not all the light is reflected. liqiuds are generally less dence than solids thus light can easily travel through it. gas particles are spaced farthest apart thus its very easy for light to travel through it. light travels fastest in vacuum because in a vacuum there are no particles to deflect, or reflect the light waves.
Does light travel fastest through solids liquids gases or empty spaces?
Light travels fastest through empty spaces, as there are fewer particles to interact with and slow it down. In solids and liquids, the particles are closely packed together, causing light to travel slower.

Does light travel slower threw water?
Yes, light travels slower in water than in air.
Does light travel more faster or slower as they enter water?
Slower in water.
Do granulated solids flow faster or slower than powdered solids through a funnel?
the granulated solids travel slower than powdered due to granulated have grains and it take time for it to travel through a funnel and it could get clumped up at the bottom of the funnel .As powdered it passes through not clumps
Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?
Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.
Why do sound waves travel slower in solids?
As far as I know, it's the other way round - they tend to travel faster in solids. Of course, it all depends on the specific solid, liquid, or gas.
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
Does light travel faster in glass then it does in a vacuum?
No, slower.
