Key Stage 3
: [[Sound]] travels fastest through a [[solid]] because the [[particle]]s are already touching so they have little distance to travel to pass on the [[vibration]].
: [[Sound]] travels the slowest through a [[gas]] because the [[particle]]s in a [[gas]] are spread far apart so they take some time before they [[collide]] with the next [[particle]] to pass on the [[vibration]].
: The [[speed]] of [[sound]] through [[air]] is 340[[m/s]]

===Sound Volume===
: The [[volume]] of a [[sound]] is how loud or quiet it is.
: Volume is determined by the [[amplitude]] of the [[wave]]; how much the wave vibrates.
