Question

why speed of sound is higher in liquid​

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium. The mathematical relationship is speed = (elasticity/density)

Answer 2

Answer:

the speed of sound higher in liquid because the molecule of liquid is tightly packed. In fresh water, sound waves travel at speed of 1482 metre per second. but in gases sound travel in their least speed because of their molecules are not tightly packed
