What is the fastest an earthquake can travel?

The speed of sound, it is different in different substances, but it is roughly equal to the speed of sound in rock.


Can tornadoes travel faster then the speed of sound?

No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.


What material does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.


The speed of sound is fastest in what type of matter?

Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel


What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?

there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.


According to the table in which medium does sound travel at the fastest speed?

According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.


Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?

Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.


Which travels fastest through a medium a photon atom sound or electron?

A photon travels fastest through a medium, followed by sound, then electrons. Photons travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is faster than the speed of sound or electrons in a medium. Sound travels at a much slower speed than light, while electrons generally move at speeds that are significantly slower than both photons and sound waves.


At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.


States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?

Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.


Are there planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound?

yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.


Which one of these would allow sound to travel fastest Density of molecoles?

The speed of sound is proportional to the (square root) of the stiffness of the material divided by the density.
