Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through them. In general, the denser the substance, the faster sound will travel through it.

Does empty space make sound travel fastest?

Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.


What substance will a sound wave travel fastest through?

Sound waves travel fastest through solid materials because the particles are closely packed together, allowing for faster transmission of vibrations. In general, the denser the material, the faster the speed of sound.


What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?

Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. Steel is denser and allows sound waves to travel faster due to the close packing of atoms. Water is denser than air and also allows sound to travel faster because the molecules are closer together compared to air.
