Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
What can a sound wave travel the fastest through?
A solid with highest Young's modulus probably diamond
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
What waves travel the fastest?
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave

When would sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels fastest in a solid because the particles are closely packed meaning the particles can pass the sound wave on without any gaps in between. It travels through a gas the slowest as the particles are spaced out meaning they only occasionally bump into each other to pass on the sound wave.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
What sound wave travels fastest?
solids
Why do you think sound usually travel fastest through solids but light usually travel slowest through solids?
As you know, light is electromagnetic wave. While sound is mechanical wave, Sound requires a medium to travel, and sound offers best condition for it. While light is enegry packates (photons) and solids hinder its path making it slower.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?
That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.
