In fact, it travels faster, in a liquid, than in air.

∙ 14y agosound waves travel slowest in gases as the particles are further apart than in solids or liquids, therefore the movement is passed on slower between each particle.
hope that helps. i rambled a tad :/

What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?
Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.
Do longitudinal waves travel through solids and liquids?
Confusing question. Try this - sound waves travel though solids and liquids (and gases), and electromagnetic ("radio") waves travel through a vacuum and gases well, les well through liquids such as water, and hardly at all though conducting solids such as metals.
Dose a primary wave travel through soilids and liquids?
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
Does sound waves travel faster in solids and slowest in liquids?
Speed of sound is usually highest in solids and slowest in gasses, with liquid being somewhere inbetween.
What does P waves travel through?
Gasses, solids and liquids :P
What media can mechanical waves travel through?
solids, liquids, gasses
What all can sound Travel through?
Anything with mass; solids, liquids, gasses.
Do sound waves travel better through solid liquids or gasses?
sound waves travel through best through solids because they are more dense, then liquids, and finally they travel the worst through gasses.
What kind of compressional waves travel through gasses liquids and solids?
Sound waves are an excellent example
Which seimic wave goes though liquids?
pressure. waves also known as p waves travel through solids liquids and gasses
Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed
How well does sound travel through different materials?
It travels fastest through solids, slowest through gases, and liquids are in the middle.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses
Does sound travel slower through air solids or liquids?
Sounds travels slowest in air and fastest in solids. Generally, sound travels faster through materials of higher densities.
