Sound exists through vibrations in matter around it. If you create a disturbance in the air or any gas, the fluctuations you cause will create waves at different frequencies that are picked up by your ear, creating sound.

Do sound waves travels faster in air or in gas?

Air is gas.


Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.


Where does sound travels through?

Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.


What speed does sound travel through a gas?

Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.


Does sound travel through solid?

yes and it travels faster than liquid and gas


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.


Does sound travel through liquid or gas faster?

it travels fast in gases


How do sound travels through gas?

Compression waves (same as for solids & liquids).


Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?

sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.


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


What are the phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through?

The phases of matter from fastest to slowest that sound travels through are solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels fastest through solids because the particles are closer together and can easily transmit vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower due to the looser arrangement of particles, and in gases, sound travels slowest because the particles are widely spaced.


What are the factors that affect the velocity of sound in a gas?

The velocity of sound in a gas is affected by factors such as the temperature, pressure, and density of the gas. In general, sound travels faster in gases with higher temperatures, higher pressures, and lower densities.
