Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.
answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.
And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.
The speed of sound depends on the substance of the medium and whether the medium is a solid, liquid, or gas. Sound travels more quickly through solids and liquids because the individual molecules are closer together than the molecules in gas. Sound actual travels the slowest through sound, and travels much quicker through materials such as aluminum, brick, or even water.
Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
Sound travels fastest through solid than in air or water
There is no difference in the speed of sound through
any of the items on the list you've provided.
Sound travels fastest through a nonporous solid, such as iron or steel.
The more dense an object is the faster sound will travel air<steel<lead . Lead will allow sound to travel faster than steel or air
Sound travels through solids like Steel and iron faster than water and air therefore making sound faster going through solids
no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.
Solids
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
sound would travel through solids fastest since their molecules are more closely packed,hence vibrations are easily conveyed unlike other states of matter.
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.
Solids
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Sound travels fastest through iron and sound travels slowest through air!
sound would travel through solids fastest since their molecules are more closely packed,hence vibrations are easily conveyed unlike other states of matter.
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Sound travels through a solid fastest. This is true because the particles are tightly packed, and sound is transmitted by vibrations. Therefore, the more tightly packed the material is, the faster the vibrations are transmitted.
The best type of material that conducts sound the best would be any solid. Only because of the sound that hit the compacted atoms and it would travel the fastest.
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
The speed of sound is proportional to the (square root) of the stiffness of the material divided by the density.
