sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster.

+++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.

Why is the speed of sound greater for stone than water or air?

The speed of sound is greater in stone than in water or air because sound travels faster in denser materials. Stone is more dense than water or air, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly through its structure.


Would sound travel faster through water or through air?

sound travels faster through water than air.


Why does sound travel faster in stone and water than in air?

Sound travels faster in solids and liquids such as stone and water compared to air because the particles in solids and liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the denser medium. In air, the particles are more spread out, causing sound waves to travel at a slower pace due to the lower density of air molecules.


Does sound travel quicker through air or water?

Sound travels faster through water than through air because water is denser and provides more molecules for sound waves to travel through, leading to a faster transmission of sound.


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

No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.


Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?

No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
