sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.

What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?

faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.


Which material allows sound to travel 4 times faster than in water?

Sound travels approximately four times faster in steel than in water. This is because steel has a higher elasticity and density, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the material.


Does sound travel faster in the air or water?

Sound travels faster in water thanin air.


Does sound travel faster in sea water or air?

it travels faster in water


Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?

No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.


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.


In what medium the sound travels faster?

Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are packed more closely together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the material.


Does sound travel faster in Ice Water or Steam?

Sound travels faster in ice water compared to steam. This is because sound waves travel faster in denser mediums, and ice water is denser than steam. So, the speed of sound in ice water is faster than in steam.


Will sound travel in water?

Yes, sound can travel in water, but it travels faster and farther in water compared to air because water is denser and transmits sound more efficiently. Sound travels around four times faster in water than in air.


Does sound travel faster in a Ice Steam or water?

Sound travels faster in water than in ice or steam. This is because sound waves travel faster through denser materials, and water is denser than both ice and steam.


Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?

sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles


Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?

Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
