Fastest: ____
Answer
Arrange the following three mediums based on the speed at which sound propagates through them: gas, liquid, solid.
Fastest: solid
Middle: liquid
Slowest: gas
this is due to bulk modlus not desnity. So increasing density actually lowers sound speed (so h2 gass that is more condensed would transmit sound less than a dispursed h2 gass). Bulk modulus, which is more in tuned with resistant to compression, alows for quick snappy compression waves
