In which of the following material does sound travel the fastest?

Answer 1

Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.

answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.

And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.

Answer 2

The speed of sound depends on the substance of the medium and whether the medium is a solid, liquid, or gas. Sound travels more quickly through solids and liquids because the individual molecules are closer together than the molecules in gas. Sound actual travels the slowest through sound, and travels much quicker through materials such as aluminum, brick, or even water.

Answer 3

Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.

Answer 4

Sound travels fastest through solid than in air or water

Answer 5

There is no difference in the speed of sound through

any of the items on the list you've provided.

Answer 6

Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid, such as iron or steel.

Answer 7

The more dense an object is the faster sound will travel air<steel<lead . Lead will allow sound to travel faster than steel or air

Answer 8

Sound travels through solids like Steel and iron faster than water and air therefore making sound faster going through solids

Answer 9

Sound travels the fastest in solids, as the particles are closely packed together, allowing for quicker transmission of sound waves through the medium.
