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.

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.


Which is faster for viberating sound travel solid or liquid or gas or vacuum?

Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles are close together, allowing for quicker transfer of energy through vibrations. In liquids, sound travels slower than in solids but faster than in gases due to the density of the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium to propagate.


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.


How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.


Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?

Faster.


Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?

Solid


Does sound pass through vacuum?

No, sound cannot pass through a vacuum because sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to travel through. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so they cannot travel.


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.


What medium sound waves travel through?

Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.


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.


What medium can sound travel through?

Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
