Question

Can sound travel through solids and liquids? In which of the two it travels faster?

Answer 1

1. Sound is a mechanical wave. It requires a material medium to travel.
2. Sound can travel through solids and liquids and even gases.
3. Speed of sound in solids > Speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases.
4. As the speed of sound is more in a higher density medium.
5. So, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids.
