Question

sound travels faster in gases than in liquid true or false​

Answer 1

False.

Explanation:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter.

The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids.

And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.

So, the statement is false.

Answer 2

Sound travels faster in gases than in liquid. The given statement is False.

Explanation:

• The speed of sound depends upon the medium through which they travel. The speed of sound is fastest and faster in solid and liquid mediums.
• But in a gaseous medium, the speed of sound is slower than the speed of sound which travels through a liquid medium. temperature also affects the speed of sound.
• In a liquid, the molecules are tightly packed than in gases. In solid materials, molecules are tightly packed even more than liquid, and gasses.
• In freshwater sometimes the speed of sound is four times faster than air. Even it is sometimes faster than the speed of sound in solid materials.
