it depends on the kind of material medium it occurs on. and it's wavelenght.
secondary waves
Primary: aka P-waves
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Primary waves (P-waves) are the type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material. These waves are able to cause rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves, resulting in a back-and-forth motion.
According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.
Radio waves on the EMS have the longest wavelength, while gamma rays travel the fastest.
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
secondary waves
Primary: aka P-waves
Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.
Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently.
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
