It doesnt. Sound actually travels faster the denser the medium is because the molecules are packed closer together. So sound travels fastest in solids.

Which meduim is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
Where does the sound travel slowest through?
wood
What are the phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through?
It is fastest from Solid to Liquid to Gas. The next phase of matter after a gas is a plasma as in the solar wind.
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
The speed of sound is slowest in what type of matter?
sound cannot travel through a vacum

Does sound only traveled through gases?
No. Sound will travel through any sort of matter, gas, solid, or liquid.
Where does the sound travel slowest through?
wood
What does travel through slowest?
Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.
What are the phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through?
It is fastest from Solid to Liquid to Gas. The next phase of matter after a gas is a plasma as in the solar wind.
The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the ____ through which it travels?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
Which one of the media does sound travel slowest through?
Air.
The speed of sound is slowest in what type of matter?
sound cannot travel through a vacum
Has man ever traveled faster than sound underwater?
A few men have traveled through space faster than sound travels through water but no manned vehicle has traveled through a liquid faster than sound through that liquid.
Sound travels the slowest through a?
Well sound would travel the slowest - i.e not at all - in a vacuum. However, for simplistic terms, rubber is actually the slowest that sound will travel through of common objects. I don't know but something like sodium at 3K might be a lot slower.
Which material does sound travel slowest through stone or metal?
stone
