This allows the disturbance to propagate faster and makes the speed of sound higher. Since the density of a solid is so much higher than a gas, the distance between particles is much smaller. The same thing happens in a solid, but with one big difference-density. Then these moving particles push other particles, and so on. In air, some particles interact with nearby particles, causing them to move. Sound is a moving disturbance in a medium. Actually, HyperPhysics lists the speed of sound in Pyrex at 5640 m/s.īut why is the speed of sound greater in a solid than in air? Here is my super-short answer. That is faster than the speed of sound in air (340 m/s) but not faster than the speed of sound in glass (4540 m/s). By fitting a linear function to this data, I find that it has a speed of 417 m/s (932 mph). However, if you look only at the straight part of the handle, you realize the crack's position changes uniformly with time. The first part of this data corresponds to the leading edge of the crack moving along the curve of the handle such that the velocity along the y-axis would not be constant.
