Question

1. Observe the sound of ticking clock or scratching the table by i) putting ear in contact with table ii) standing straight Q1. Which case the sound is more clear? Q2. State your conclusion about the speed of sound in different media.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Q1 . putting ear near the table is more clear because solid can transfer sound easily than air because of tightly packed atoms ( molecules)

Q2 . since the atoms in table which is tightly packed can transfer sound from one molecule from another easily . so sound can travel faster while putting ear near the table . while we are standing straight the medium is air air molecules are not close so it is not better to hear the sound while standing straight .
