Particles in gases are very far apart and there is a negligible amount of attraction force between these particles. Gas molecules have to move a long way before they interact and collide with other molecules. Sound energy slows down and does not move face when the molecules are not in contact with each other.

Which among materials does sound travel slowest 1 air 2 glass 3 water 4 wood?
Air because sound travels fastest in solids, medium in liquids, and slow in gases
How long would it take for a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 150 meters long?
0.029
How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?
Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.
How fast does sound travel through glass in meters per second?
There are different types of glass so there is not a single answer. The speed of sound is approx 4,000 metres per second ( range 3500 - 4500 ms^-1).
Is it Mach or times the speed of sound?
Mach is the speed of an object expressed as a multiple of the speed of sound in the same medium. Thus, an object travelling at 686 metres per second through air, at sea level, is travelling at Mach 2 because sound would travel through it at 343 m/s. However, it the object was travelling under water at the same speed then it would be travelling at approx Mach 0.46 since sound travels at 1484 m/s through water.
Can sound travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Can sound waves travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Can sound travel through gases?
no
Why does sound travel slowly through gas?
Sound travels slowly through gas because the particles in a gas are further away then the particles in a solid or a liquid. This makes it take longer for the sound waves to travel through the particles in gases because it takes longer for them to collide with each other; this makes it take longer for the particles to pass on the sound vibration.
What items do sound waves travel through most slowly?
Area of dry airIf we consider just the three "basic" states of matter, i.e., solids, liquids and gases, it is in gases that sound travels slowest.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Does sound travel best through solidsliquidsor gases?
liquids.
Do sound waves travel slowest through gases?
Yes
What objects are difficult for sound to travel through?
sound travels the fastest in solids and slower in liquids and even slower in gases and cannot travel in vacuum..so its most difficult for the sound to travel in gases
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.
Does the sound travel through a soild?
Yes, sound actually travels faster through solids then liquids or gases.
