Can airplanes travel faster than sound?

NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning

Does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids?

Yes, sound travel faster in solid than in liquid b'coz the molecules of solid are closely packed. speed of sound in steel is 5100 m/s while in water is 1450 m/s.


Sound travels faster in solids or liquids?

Sound travels faster in a medium that that has no or less interference. In other words we can say that it will travel faster in solid practically thinking that sound is echoced by the solid objects better than the liquid medium and as a result the sound waves travel with faster velocity and travel greater distance.


Does sound travel through solid?

yes and it travels faster than liquid and gas


Does sound travel faster in liquid than air?

, I am not entirely sure but I think it would travel faster in air due to the particles being much more active and spread out.


Does sound travel in a liquid?

Yes sound can travel in liquid, its speed is lesser than that in solid and more than that of gas.


What in solids move faster than in liquid .?

Sound will usually move faster in a solid than in a liquid.


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.


What environments sound can travel in?

Sound can travel in solid, liquid, and gas environments. In solids, sound moves faster than in liquids and gases due to the closer arrangement of particles. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum as there are no particles to transmit the vibrations.


Why the speed of sound is greater in steel than in fluid?

That is because sound waves travel through particles, and solid particles are closer than liquid/gas particles, thus, logically sound wave will travel faster in steel than in a fluid. :)
