its an easy question. you know sound needs material medium to propagate {or move} and the atoms in solids are bound more closely than air. and thus when sound travels its easy for its waves to propagate through solids as the atoms {material medium} are more close than in air and on the contrary the molecules {larger parts of atoms ,who serve as material medium } of air are losely bound and its a bit harder for the waves to travel from one point to another.

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.


Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?

Faster.


Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?

Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.


Can a sound be faster than a other sound?

yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.


What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?

Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.


Through which material does sound travel faster?

Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.


Does sound travel faster throgh solid than air?

It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............

Does sound travel faster through a tree or air?

Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object


Sound travels faster through what?

The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.


Does sound travel through solid?

yes and it travels faster than liquid and gas


Does sound travel faster through through a solid or gas?

Sound travels faster through some solid because, in general, the particles are packed more closely together. This transfers the sound wave faster. Other solids do not transmit sound well at all.
