Sound travels 5 times fast under water then in the air and even faster through solids.
For example speed of sound in:
Air = 330 m/s
Water = 1500 m/s
Steel = 6000 m/s

What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
Which medium does sound travel fastest in?
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
Does the sound travel through a soild?
Yes, sound actually travels faster through solids then liquids or gases.
Does sound travel slower through air solids or liquids?
Sounds travels slowest in air and fastest in solids. Generally, sound travels faster through materials of higher densities.
In what material does sound travel through the fastest?
There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.
What material does sound travel through the fastest?
There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Why does sound travel slower through liquids?
It doesn't, sound travels slowest in air then faster in liquids then solids. Sound traveling through steel in many times faster then through air, for example. Sound travels through vibrations, and the vibrations pass through molecules until they reach your ear. If the molecules are far away it takes longer to pass the vibrations, but if they are closer together they will travel faster. Because the molecules are packed closer together in a liquid the sound travels faster through it, and even faster through solids.
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
sound travels slower through gases as compared to solids and liquids because there is more inter-moleculer space in gas as compared to solids and liquids.
Does sound travel faster through water than air?
yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum
Will sound travel faster through water or a glass window?
window, because sound travels fastest through solids, liquids second, and gases last.
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
