Usually.
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
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.
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.
liquid
Light travels faster through liquid than through solid. The speed of light in a medium is determined by the refractive index of the material, which is lower in liquid compared to solid materials.
liquid
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
Solid. Because it's more dense.
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
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.
Heat can move through objects via conduction, convection, or radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles. Convection involves the movement of heat through fluids like liquids or gases. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
A wave will move faster through a liquid than a gas and even faster through a solid than a liquid. This is due to that the particles are closser together in a liquid than a gas and even closer in a solid than a liquid so the wave has a tighter medium to travel through or less of a "jump" between the atoms.
