Sound needs always a medium for transportation. Therefore in vacuum in outer space we cannot hear a sound, like they play us in Science Fiction films.

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 go faster through a vacuum or a solid?

Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.


How fast is the speed of sound through air?

at 0 degrees Celsius sound travells 330 metres per second at 20 degrees Celsius sound travells 340 metres per second at 30 degrees Celsius sound travells 350 metres per second in water sound travells 1400 meters per second through wood sound travells 4500 metres per second through steel sound travells 5000 metres per second


Will sound travel faster in solid or air?

Much faster in a solid


Does sound travel faster in a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no molecules for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate and cannot travel.


How fast is sound in mph?

Sound travells at 743 MPH.


Which is faster for viberating sound travel solid or liquid or gas or vacuum?

Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles are close together, allowing for quicker transfer of energy through vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower than in solids but faster than in gases due to the density of the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium to propagate.


Why sound travels?

sound travells by vibrating molecules in the air in a wavelike pattern.


Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?

sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles


What environments sound can travel in?

Sound can travel in solid, liquid, and gas environments. In solids, sound moves faster than in liquids and gases due to the closer arrangement of particles. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum as there are no particles to transmit the vibrations.


Which medium sound travels faster?

solid


Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?
