Sound travels further in a solid medium because the atoms are closer together. less energy is dissipated. It's an amplification of sorts.

In which medium does the sound travel the fastest?

sound travels the fastest through a solid perferably dimond.


In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?

Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.


What medium do waves travel fastest in?

Waves travel fastest in solids, such as metals and dense materials, because particles in solids are closer together and can transmit energy quickly through vibrations. This is why seismic waves generated by earthquakes travel fastest through the Earth's solid layers.


Which medium would sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid medium, such as steel.


Where does sound travels through?

Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.

What medium does sound travel through the best?

solid


Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?

Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.


Is the speed of sound affected by the medium which it travels through?

Yes. Sound travel faster through water than air n fastest through compact solid material like metal.


What medium do sound waves travel fastest in?

Sound waves travel fastest through solid mediums, such as metal or rock, because the particles are packed closely together and can transmit the vibrations more efficiently compared to liquids or gases.
