    Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate while electromagnetic waves do not. Mechanical waves involve compressions with high pressure and rarefactions with low pressure as particles are closer together or further apart. Sound travels fastest in solids due to particles colliding more frequently when tightly packed, then in water, and slowest in air. Formulas are provided for frequency (f), wavelength (λ), and velocity (V) to summarize key characteristics and properties of waves.

    compressions are regions of high pressure due to particles being close together.
    rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to particles being spread further apart.

    The tighter particles are packed in a space, they collide more frequently. This allows
    sound, which is simply the combined collisions of particles, to travel fastest in solids.
    So, to reiterate, sound travels fastest in solids, then water, and slowest in air.
