Because liquids, solids, and other dense states of matter generally have molecules packed closer together than with gasses, plasmas, etc. Sound is transmitted by vibrations, basically particles bumping into eachoter, and because there is less space between particles in denser states of matter it takes less time for each particle to bump into the next, speeding up the transmission of sound.
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
metal since it is solid
They are denser. Molecules are closer together. Vibrations move faster.
Sound travels slower through stone compared to metal. This is because stone has a lower elasticity and density than metal, which causes the sound waves to propagate more slowly through it. Metal, with its high elasticity and density, allows sound waves to travel faster.
when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster
Yes, sound can travel through metal strings. When a string is plucked, it creates vibrations that travel through the metal material and produce sound waves. The density and tension of the metal strings affect the speed and quality of the sound produced.
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Yes. Sound travel faster through water than air n fastest through compact solid material like metal.
Sound would travel better through the metal railing because metal is a better conductor of sound than air. When the metal rod hits the railing, the vibrations are quickly transmitted through the metal and carry the sound along with it.
sound travels faster through water than air.
Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through them. In general, the denser the substance, the faster sound will travel through it.
