∙ 12y agoSound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Maximum speed of a 747?
The maximum speed of a 747 is Mach 0.92.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What is the difference between cruise speed and maximum speed?
cruise speed is when you're cruising, maximum speed is when your going hella fast
Is velocity of sound is maximum in water?
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.
What is the maximum speed of light?
The maximum speed of light is its speed in vacuum. That's 299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
Speed of sound is maximum in which like in steel or solid and if anything else than please specify?
Speed of sound is maximum in STeel or solid.. if we compare the speed of sound in different mediums like vaccuum,water,solid..we will find it decreases with maximum in soild then liquid and then vaccuum
Speed of sound is maximum?
around 3000 mph
What is the maximum sound speed limit?
It depends on conditions. It has a high speed in Metals with high temperature.
What was the maximum speed of Concorde?
The maximum operational cruising speed of the Concorde was about 2170 km/h (1350 mph), more than twice the speed of sound at the Cocorde's normal altitude of around 60,000 feet.
What is the maximum sound?
There is no theroetical maximum sound. It can always get louder
What is the maximum speed the blue angels fly at?
The F/A-18 is capable of speeds of mach 1.8, however regulations prohibit the team from flying supersonic during a demonstration. The maximum speed flown during a demonstration will be just under the speed of sound (sneak pass)
How much faster is the B-2 stealth bomber than sound?
The B-2's maximum speed is 628 mph while the speed of sound is 768 mph, so ii is subsonic (the B-2 cannot fly faster than sound).
What is the maximum speed of a MCA?
The maximum speed of MCA is 10 MHz
Maximum speed of a 747?
The maximum speed of a 747 is Mach 0.92.
What is an aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound called?
The type of aircraft that flies faster than the speed of the sound are called SuperSonic aircraft.There are many supersonic aircrafts. Nowadays there are also HyperSonicaircrafts. The maximum speed recorded is Mach 9.6 (9.6 times faster than the speed of sound) by X-43A.
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
Why does sound travel faster through denser materials?
sound unlike light requires a medium to travel.sound propagates from one place to other by causing molecules to vibrate, as molecules of solid are closest vibration produced is maximum,hence speed is maximum
