Yes because in liquids, particles are much closer together than in air. Vibrations occur faster when particles are closer together, so that's why sound in air travels slower (the particles are spread apart).

Does sound travel faster in the air or water?

Sound travels faster in water thanin air.


Do waves move faster in air or in water?

Waves generally move faster in water compared to air. This is because water is denser and provides more resistance to the movement of the wave, which results in faster propagation speeds. In contrast, air is less dense and offers less resistance, causing waves to move slower.


Would sound travel faster through water or through air?

sound travels faster through water than air.


Do sound travel faster in water or in air or solids?

Sound can't move in vaccum and need particles to move, it travels fastest in solids as it has highest amount of particles.


Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?

No, the speed of sound in a medium like air is determined by the temperature of the air, not the frequency of the sound. In general, sound travels faster in warm air than in cool air because the molecules in warm air move faster and can transmit sound waves more quickly.


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


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.


Why does sound travel faster in water than on air?

because water is denser than air. sound travelles faster in dinser places.


Does sound travel faster in sea water or air?

it travels faster in water


Why does sound travel faster through materials such as water and metal than it does through air?

They are denser. Molecules are closer together. Vibrations move faster.
