increases in air.
3. During a rainy day, the amount of
.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The speed of sound in any medium is given by Sir Newton as ,

v=

E/ρ

,v=E/ρ

where E=E= coefficient of elasticity of medium ,

ρ=ρ= density of medium ,

as solids are most elastic and gases are least elastic i.e. E

s

>E

l

>E

g

,

Es>El>Eg ,

therefore speed of sound in solids is maximum and in gases is minimum i.e. v

s

>v

l

>v

,

in a rainy day presence of water drops increases therefore sound travels faster through these drops (liquid) than a normal dry day , in which sound travels through air (gaseous
