Sound can travel faster in metal than in air because the molecules in a solid (which is a metal in this case) are arranged closely together and they are tightly packed which means that the sound can travel faster in a solid as opposed to air (gas) which has molecules that are far apart.
What else can I help you with?
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?
Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
Do sound waves travel faster through air than solids?
No. In general, the denser the medium, the faster sound travels.
Witch objects does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
Does sound travel faster through water than it does through air?
Speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second. ( The exact speed depends on the depth of water and its density) and the speed of sound in air is approximately 340 meters per second. So sound is almost 4.4 times faster in water than in air.
Which sound travels faster the birdschirping or the whales siging explain how you decided?
A whale's song travels faster than a bird's chirp. This is because a whale's song travels through water, where sound moves much faster than it does in air.
Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?
Faster.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
Does sound go faster through water or iron?
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Does sound travel faster through water than air?
yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum
Sound travels faster through what?
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
Will sound travel faster through water or a glass window?
window, because sound travels fastest through solids, liquids second, and gases last.
