Question

Speed of sound in solids is the speed of sound in liquids. (a)same as (b) greater than (c) less than (d) sometimes greater and sometimes less than

Answer 1

Answer:

option no C:) less than

Answer 2

Answer:

The speed of sound in a particular medium depends on temperature and pressure of that medium. The speed of sound decreases when it passes from solid to gaseous state of a given medium. In any medium, if the temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases and vice versa.

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are more tightly packed. ... Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it.
