∙ 15y agoSound travels the fastest in a trumpit or even a cave because, it echos inside the cave.

∙ 14y agoThe denser the material medium, the faster the speed of sound will be, thus sound will travel fastst through the densest material.

Is Primary wave the fastest wave?
i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth
What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
What does sound wave move fastest in?
water Dense solid objects
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.
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
Do sound waves need a material to travel in?
sound wave need material becuse sound wave formed by compresion and rarefaction
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
Is Primary wave the fastest wave?

A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
Why is soundwave can travel to all kinds of matterbut not to a vacuum?
a sound wave is the movement of the molecules of the material, so no molecules no sound wave.
What can a sound wave travel the fastest through?
A solid with highest Young's modulus probably diamond
Which travel faster a radio wave or sound wave?
A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.
Does sound need to travel through material?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why can't a sound wave travel through a vacuum?
It needs a material medium for propagation
Does sound travel fastest in empty space?
Hello, sound is a mechanical wave. This means that it badly needs a material medium to pass through as longitudinal waves. So empty space will not allow sound to get propagated.
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Can sound travel or heard in a vacuum?
Cannot be heard as sound being a mechanical wave badly needs a material medium
