Question

Arrange the medium in the increasing order of speed of sound-
Alcohol, Nitrogen gas, Brass plate

Answer 1

Answer:

1.The speed of the sound depends upon the density of the medium.

2.The sound propagates faster through the medium with high density and sound propagates slower through the medium with low density.

3.So, sound travels fastest through solids, faster through the liquid, and slower through the gas.

The velocity of sound in a medium is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

4.Here, steel is a solid, water is liquid and nitrogen is gas. So, the ascending order of speed in them is:

Nitrogen, Water, Steel.
