Speed of sound

Summary: The speed of sound in a medium depends on the arrangement of particles in that medium. Table 1 shows the speed of sound in different types of medium. The particle arrangements help us to explain the different speeds of sound. For example, the particles in a solid are very close together, so vibrations are passed along more quickly than in a gas.
