Where is Velocity of sound the most- in air or water or vacuum or in iron?

Sound is a mechanical wave, so it can't travel in vacuum. Sound speed will be higher
when the molecules of the material it is traveling are closer to each other, this means
that it travels the fastest in solids, medium speed in liquids and slower in gases.
In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero. Sound doesn't propagate through vacuum.
Shout as loud as you want to, and the sound goes nowhere if there's no medium to
carry it. Two astronauts standing next to each other on the surface of the moon
can communicate only by radio, or by touching their helmets together.

The velocity of sound is maximum in?
1.water 2.air 3.mercury 4.iron
Does sound go faster through water or iron?
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
Do sound waves travel slowly through iron?
That completely depends on what "slowly" means to you.Sound propagating through iron is quite slow compared to the speed of lightin vacuum, but is substantially faster than the same sound in air.
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Does sound travel slowest in water air iron or cotton?

Which does sound travel best in cloth iron water or wood?
Sounds travel best in solids that are of high density so sound travels fastest in iron.
What medium does sound wave travel faster in?
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.
Sound travels through glass steel copper iron or water best?
sound passes fastest through glass
Sound travels through glass steel copper iron or water best experiments?
Sound will travel through all of those.
What material does sound travel through quickly air cork iron or water?
simply air
Sound travels faster in glass or iron?
One source on the Internet (http://www.bamr.co.za/velocity%20of%20materials.shtml) has the speed of sound in various glasses between 4260 and 6800 m/s and that source has the speed of sound in steels 5900 to 6100 and cast iron 3500 to 5600 So according to that source the speed of sound is comparable in both iron and glass with the variations giving lower speeds in some iron compounds/manufacturing states then the lowest speeds in glass and some glasses having higher speeds than steels.
