Does sound travel fastest through snow or steam?
Snow because snow is a solid and steam is a Gas and science has shoe that sound travels fastest through solids
Why does sound travel so fast?
Sound travels fast because it propagates through a medium, such as air, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy. The speed at which sound travels depends on the density and elasticity of the medium - the denser and more elastic the medium, the faster sound can travel through it. In air at room temperature, sound travels at around 343 meters per second.
Does sound travel faster through a liquid or gas?
Sound travels faster through liquids than gases because the molecules in liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly.
A medium that sound travels 4 times faster through?
Sound travels 4 times faster through water than through air. This is because water is denser and allows sound waves to travel more efficiently.
How does the wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of the sound wave through an open window?
The wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of a sound wave through an open window because the wavelength can determine how fast the diffraction is moving; therfore, causing the sound to be either lower or higher.I think :)

Why does a tea kettle whistle?
As the water begins to boil steam forms inside the kettle, as more and more steam is produced the pressure starts to build, once the pressure is high enough the steam escapes through the whistle with sufficient force to blow the whistle and produce the sound.
What is steam velocity in turbine?
That is how fast the steam is actually moving in the turbine. For impulse turbines it is twice as fast as the turbine blades. In reaction turbines it is the same speed as the blades. Because the blades of a turbine cannot move faster than 4500 feet per second without self destructing as it overcomes the centripetal force of the turbine wheels, the steam turbine is designed such that no turbine will exceed more than ~1150 feet per second on its tip speed. Thus the steam velocity through the turbine will be less than ~1150 fps for a reaction turbine and less than ~2300 fps for an impulse turbine, or about ~1570 mph, more than twice the speed of sound.
Do sound waves particles move fast though a solid?
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
What are the reasons of Erosion and deposits in steam turbine?
The steam. Steam passing through a turbine spinning at a speed of 3600rpm will have a tip velocity on it largest wheel of about 1800 feet per second. In order to reach that speed the steam must be moving at least that fast through the blades. that is about 1200 miles per hour, or more than 1 1/2 times the speed of sound. The steam also over time picks up impurities from the steam pipe to the turbine, these will cause erosion similar to sand blasting. The water in the boiler has impurities that can't be removed effectively, one is silica. At high temperature in the boiler the silica vaporizes into the steam passages, as it passes through the turbine the steam cools and the silica solidifies again into deposits on the turbine blades. There are other causes but these are the most common.
A medium that sound travels 4 times faster through?
Sound travels 4 times faster through water than through air. This is because water is denser and allows sound waves to travel more efficiently.
Why does the steam comes out from steam train?
B/c a train isn't big enought to retrieve and reuse all of it, so some will be dumped into the air. On some locomotives, the still hot steam will be shot out through the smokestack, improving the air flow through the firebox. With more fire, you get more steam, and more power from the locomotive.
How fast does sound travel through cotton wool then air?
Sound travels faster through air than through cotton wool. In air, sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second, while in cotton wool it would travel at a slower speed due to the material's denser and more absorbent nature.
Were does that classic sound on a steam locomotive come from when on the move?
Choo Choo Choo.....It comes from the release of the pressure from the piston used to drive the arm that turns the wheels. The exhaust steam is vented up through the funnel (chimney) via blast pipe. This is at the front of the boiler tubes and causes a vacuum, drawing air through the tubes and the fire box. So actually running the engine causes more effecient fire to boil the water and make steam. It's the blast pipe, up through the funnel that causes the 'Chuff' sound.
How fast does sound travel through matter?
Sound travels at a speed that is dependent on density. As a rule the more dense the material the faster sound travels. In air, mach 1 (the speed of sound) is about 750 MPH. In water it is about 3316 MPH. (Water is much denser than air.)
