In which medium sound travels faster ?
AGas
BLiquid
CSolid
DNone of these
Answer:
C. Solid
Read Explanation:
Note:
In solids, the distance between molecules is less. They are located next to each other.
That means solids are denser than gases and liquids.
Therefore, the molecules quickly collide with each other and transfer vibrational energy.
Similarly, in liquids the molecules are closer together than in gases. Therefore, sound travels the slowest in gases and fastest in solids.
