Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.

Do humans react to faster light or sound?
light at least i do an average of 260millisecond to light and 350 to sound
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Light and sound both move in waves. Light is much faster than sound. Light waves are smaller than sound waves.
What makes a wine glass sing?
A wine glass makes a noise when you run your finger along the rim because of vibration. Your finger rubs against the glass and sets up vibrations because of friction. The glass crystals are "frozen" into a solid and are lined up all in one direction inside the glass. When the rim vibrates, the ripples spread all over the glass, and the bell-shape of the glass focuses the sound back out the top. Voila - sound.

Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
What transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?
Faster.
Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?
Solid
Which is faster for viberating sound travel solid or liquid or gas or vacuum?
Sounds travel faster in solid materials than any other materials.
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Does sound move through a solid slowly?
Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
Does sound travel faster through through a solid or gas?
Sound travels faster through some solid because, in general, the particles are packed more closely together. This transfers the sound wave faster. Other solids do not transmit sound well at all.
Does sound move faster through a liquid than through a solid?
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
