Sound travels faster through solids. It does this because sound is generated mainly due to the mediums molecule vibration in a pattern.

In solids, the molecules are more closely packed when compared to gases. Hence, the vibration occurs faster and hence the sound is tramsmitted sooner

Solid


What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?

Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.


Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?

Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.


Does sound travel faster through a solid than a gas?

yes


What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?

The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.


Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?

Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.


Does sound travel faster through through a solid or gas?

Sound travels faster through some solid because, in general, the particles are packed more closely together. This transfers the sound wave faster. Other solids do not transmit sound well at all.


Does sound travel faster throgh solid than air?

It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............


Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?

Solid. Because it's more dense.


Can sound travel through a solid?

Yes, sound can travel through a solid. In solids, sound travels through the vibration of particles within the material. The speed of sound in a solid is faster than in air due to the closer proximity of particles.


Will sound travel faster in solid or air?

Much faster in a solid
