Sound travels faster in solids because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of the sound waves through the medium. In gases and liquids, the particles are further apart, causing the sound waves to travel more slowly due to the increased distance between particles that the waves must travel through.

sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles


Does sound travel faster through oxygen light water or metal?

metal since it is solid


Does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids?

Yes, sound travel faster in solid than in liquid b'coz the molecules of solid are closely packed. speed of sound in steel is 5100 m/s while in water is 1450 m/s.


Does sound travel faster in the air or water?

Sound travels faster in water thanin air.


Do waves travel faster through waves or water?

Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).

Sound travels faster through what?

The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.


Does sound travel faster in sea water or air?

it travels faster in water


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.


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.


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.


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.
