There are a few reasons why sound gets quieter through solids than through air. Sound has a harder time moving through molecules that are so close.

Does sound travel through water and solids faster than air?

Yes, and faster through solids than liquids.


Can sound trave through solid?

Yes, but sound travels slower through solids than air.


Is it true that sound waves travel faster through air than through solids?

Through solids because the particles are closer than gas particles.


Why does sound travel faster in a soild?

Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies


Why does light travel more quickly through solids than through gasses?

Light generally doesn't travel faster through solids than through gases. Sound does, but not light.


The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?

The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.


How does the speed of sound compare with its speed through liquids and solids?

When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.


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.


Sound waves travel by vibrations in what?

Sound is energy of mechanical vibration transferred through a medium. Commonly the medium is air, but solids, liquids and gasses all transmit sound. Indeed, sound travels faster through liquid and solids than through gas. Sound does not propagate through a vacuum.


Does sound go through solids quicker than liquids or gases?

This will not answer the question; however sound does not travel thru solids, as sound waves travel only thru gases or air.


How can you prove that sound waves travel fastest through solids than liguids and gases?

Through the vibrations


How does sound move through water easily?

because there are more particles in water than air but there are more in solids than water so sound travles further in solids than liquids ore air
