Sound travels the slowest through which of these?

The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.


Relate the speed of sound to different mediums?

The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.

Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?

Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
