Question

two persons are holding an iron rod. first person knocked the rod by a hammer. what will be the ratio of times taken by the sound wave in air and in iron to reach the second person? pls answer this question guys. the one who answers first shall be marked the brainliest.​

Answer 1

The ratio of times taken by the sound wave to reach the second person in air to in iron is 1 : 15.

- The speed of sound in air is about 343 m / s.

- The speed of sound in iron is about 5120 m / s, i.e., about 15 times faster than air)

- So the ratio of time taken in air to time taken in iron will be 1 : 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of times taken by the sound wave to reach the second person in air to in iron is 1 : 15.

- The speed of sound in air is about 343 m / s.

- The speed of sound in iron is about 5120 m / s, i.e., about 15 times faster than air)

- So the ratio of time taken in air to time taken in iron will be 1 : 15.
