Explain why sounds travels at different speeds through these three mediums: solid, liquid, gas.
What is: Particles in SOLIDS are crowded together, so sound travels quickly through them. Particles in LIQUIDS are farther apart, so sound travels through them more slowly than it would in a solid. Particles in GASES are the farthest apart, so sound travels the most slowly through a gas than if it were traveling through either a solid or a liquid.
