The speed of sound is the fastest through a solid. You can calulate the speed by the formula distance and time.
It is the fastest through a solid because the molecules are closer together than the other states of matter, so the reaction time is shorter.

∙ 12y agothe measured speed of sound in water, is 1482 m/s at 20°C. however the speed of sound is different in different liquids.

unless you mean pyrex glass, like the microwaveable glass, which is 5640 m/s

Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No. Sound waves must travel through a medium, such as air, liquid, or a solid.
What medium sound waves travel through?
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
Can sound waves travel through clouds?
Yes, sound waves can travel through clouds.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No. Sound waves must travel through a medium, such as air, liquid, or a solid.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
What medium sound waves travel through?
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
What can waves travel through?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through - the medium may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Electromagnetic waves (including light) can also travel through empty space.
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Where can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through any medium,here medium can be any matter includes solid,liquid,gas,plasma...
Can Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids.?
Yes, yes, and yes. Sound can travel through any compressible medium. The denser the medium, the faster sound will travel.
Can sound waves travel through clouds?
Yes, sound waves can travel through clouds.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
