Question

the relationship of types of medium with the speed of sound

Answer 1

Answer:

Solid medium has highest speed of sound.

Liquid medium has moderate speed of sound.

gaseous medium has lowest speed of sound.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Sound travels faster in medias with more rigidity or less compressibility.

• Solids have the most rigidity. Air has the least rigidity.
• Speed of sound in aluminium = 6320 m/s
• Speed of sound in Glass = 4540 m/s
• Speed of sound in wood = 3850 m/s
• Speed of sound in water = 1437 m/s
• Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s.
• From the data it is clear that the speed of sound is maximum in most rigid solid media and minimum in least rigid air.
