equation for speed of sound in a medium:
c=sqrt(B/rho)
B=bulk modulus
rho=density
all else being constant, and increase in temperature will cause an expansion (usually) of the material. The expansion will decrease the density (mass per unit volume) and thus increase the speed of sound through the material.

Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Water.
Do sound waves travel faster through wood 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).
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
Why does sound travel faster in stone and water than in air?
because water has currents and the sound can go straght through stone
What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?
Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Water.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
What will travel faster through water than through air?
Sound
Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
What does sound travel faster through than water?
aluminum
What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
Do sound waves travel faster through wood 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).
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
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
Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?
Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.
