it depends on the kind of material medium it occurs on. and it's wavelenght.
secondary waves
Primary: aka P-waves
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
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
They travel fastest through air.
According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.
Primary waves.
secondary waves
secondary waves
Primary: aka P-waves
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
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum.
Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or gases. Sound travels fastest through steel.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
