because gold is made up of dense particles, and the denser the particles are, the more they resist in movement so it take more energy to move them which result in a slower transfer of sound energy. In comparison, steel is less dense than gold which makes sound transfer faster in steel than in gold
What else can I help you with?
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
Which metal is heavier steel or gold?
Gold is heavier than steel. The density of gold is about 19.3 g/cm^3, while the density of steel ranges from 7.75 to 8.05 g/cm^3. So, for the same volume, gold will weigh more than steel.
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.
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air or water?
steel sound waves always go faster in solids
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air?
As wave is a type of disturbance and propagates through atom to atom of the medium and in case of steel atoms(molecules) are much closer as compared to atoms(molecules) so sound waves travel faster in steel than in air.
How does sound travels faster in steel?
Sound travels faster in steel compared to air because steel is denser and has a higher elasticity than air. These properties allow sound waves to propagate more quickly through steel, resulting in a higher speed of sound.
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.
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
Sound travels faster through steel than through cloth. This is because steel is a denser and more solid material, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently compared to the softer and more porous structure of cloth, which absorbs and dampens sound waves.
Does sound travel faster in cold air or in steel?
Sound travels faster in steel because it is a solid material with a higher density compared to air. In general, the speed of sound is faster in denser materials as the molecules are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly.
Which material allows sound to travel 4 times faster than in water?
Sound travels approximately four times faster in steel than in water. This is because steel has a higher elasticity and density, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the material.
Would sound travel faster through air or steal?
Sound travels faster through steel than through air because steel is a denser material, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. Steel also has a higher elasticity, which helps in faster transmission of sound waves compared to air.
How many times faster does sound travel through steel than through air?
15 times faster
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is much faster than in air. In general, sound travels at about 5,960 m/s in steel, while it travels at about 343 m/s in air at room temperature. The higher density and stiffness of steel allow sound waves to propagate more quickly through it compared to the lighter and less dense air.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Why the speed of sound is greater in steel than in fluid?
That is because sound waves travel through particles, and solid particles are closer than liquid/gas particles, thus, logically sound wave will travel faster in steel than in a fluid. :)
