Q: The speed of sound depends on which property of the medium.
  • A. All of these
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Elasticity
  • D. Moisture
Correct Answer: Option A - Sound is a mechanical wave and requires some medium for transmission. When we move from solid (more elastic medium) to gaseous state (less elastic medium), the speed of sound decreases. Increasing the temperature in any medium the speed of sound increases. The increase of moisture in the medium, speed of sound increase in that medium.
