Sound travels via particle-to-particle vibrations around a mean position; this means that the more particles there are, the better the sound travels. Therefore, sound travels faster through iron than through water or air. Sound travels through iron roughly 15 times faster than through air. The more dense the solid, the better the sound transfer.
Sound will travel the fastest in solids since the molecules are more tightly packed together, allowing sound to travel through the medium faster. Then comes liquids, then gases.
Sound travels fastest on earth because there is no sound in space! since there's no medium in space for sound to travel through.
When a sound wave travels through a medium, it causes particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth. These vibrations create regions of compression and rarefaction, which form the sound wave. The wave then propagates through the medium in this way, carrying the sound energy from the source to our ears.
When waves travel through a medium, the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring energy from one particle to the next. This causes the wave to propagate through the medium, carrying the energy and information of the wave to its destination.
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or a water wave, requires a medium to travel because it relies on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to propagate energy. Without a medium, these waves cannot transfer their energy.
In order for a sound wave to travel, it must have a medium to propagate through. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium such as air, water, or solids to carry the vibrations. The medium allows the sound wave to transfer its energy from one point to another by compressing and rarefying the particles in the medium.
The sound wave will travel faster in the medium where particles of matter are further apart because there will be less resistance and the particles are more spread out, allowing the wave to propagate more easily.
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.

Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.

Yes, a longitudinal wave can be a sound wave. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the medium in the direction of the wave's motion.
