Does sound waves travel fastest through air?

No, sound waves travel fastest through solids, as the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations more efficiently. In gases like air, sound waves travel slower due to the greater distance between particles.


What medium do sound waves travel fastest in?

Sound waves travel fastest through solid mediums, such as metal or rock, because the particles are packed closely together and can transmit the vibrations more efficiently compared to liquids or gases.


States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?

Why does sound travel fastest through a sold then a liquid and a gas?

That's because sound is a compression wave. It needs a medium to travel through. The best mediums are dense, like metal and concrete. Liquids are okay. Gasses are the worst. Sound will not travel in space because there's no medium for sound to travel through.
