Speed of sound (M/Sec):

Sea water at 0C: 1450

Sea water at 20C: 1522

Sea water at 30C: 1545

Butyl rubber/carbon (100/40): 1600

Neoprene: 1510

Neoprene/carbon (100/60): 1690

Rubber (natural): 1600

So, on the whole, sound is slightly faster in rubber

Sound will travel fastest in air at?

Sound travels fastest in air at around 343 meters per second (m/s) at room temperature (around 20 degrees Celsius). However, the speed of sound in air can vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the air.


When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?

It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air. From other side if you have air which of course possesses certain temperature which is moving the sound speed will depend on both temperature and the vector of velocity (direction where it is blowing and and value how much it's blowing).


What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?

Light travels the fastest, with a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Sound travels at around 343 meters per second in air. Microwaves travel slower in glass compared to a vacuum, but their speed is still faster than sound. A rocket in space can travel at speeds up to several kilometers per second, depending on its propulsion system.


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.


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

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

Which travels fastest sound water air light?

Light travels faster.


Which travels fastest sound air light or water?

Light travels the fastest among sound, air, light, and water. In dry air, sound travels around 343 meters per second, while light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which is much faster. Water and air have slower speeds of sound compared to light.


Which of these would allow sound to travel fastest air wood or water?

Sound travels fastest in solids, so it would travel fastest in wood compared to air and water.


Is water the material that sound travels fastest in?

no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.


What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?

sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.


What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?

faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.


Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?

sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.


Can sound travel faster in air?

sound travels so fast because it feels like it


Which travels sound or light?

Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.


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


Which the materials sound travels fastest?

Sound travels fastest through solid materials because the particles are tightly packed, allowing the vibrations to pass quickly through the medium. Examples of solid materials where sound travels fastest include metals like steel and iron.


Does air travel fastest in a liquid?

Yes. Air travels faster in liquid if you compare it to a solid. Air travels the fastest in gasses.
