Question

The speed of sound in a medium depends on
(a) the elastic property but not on the inertia property
(b) the inertia property but not on the elastic property
(c) the elastic property as well as the inertia property
(d) neither the elastic property nor the inertia property.

Answer 1

Answer:

option d

Explanation:

The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is travelling .In general, sound Travels faster in liquid than in gases on solids and liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium.
