Does sound travel through solid?
yes and it travels faster than liquid and gas
Do sound waves travel better through a solid liquid or a gas?
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
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.
How fast will sound travel through a solid liquid and gas in meters per second?
depending on the nature of the solid liquid or gas. usually gas the fastest followed by liquid than solid.
What material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
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.
Should sound travel best on liquid or a gas?
If by best you mean fastest and/or furthest, than sound travels better through liquid. This is because the speed (and distance) of sound is dependent on the density of the medium it is traveling through. Since sound waves travel better with compression, they move faster in more solid mediums because of the mediums' tightly packed molecules.
Which medium does sound travel fastest in?
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
Is velocity of sound is maximum in water?
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.
Do sound waves travel farther in liquid than in gas?
Yes.
Why speed of sound is more than liquid and gas?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through, and gas particles are spread out way more than liquid particles. This allows the sound to travel faster in more dense objects
Does sound travel the fastest through water?
No. Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or airs. Sound travels faster through steel than any other material.
