Q: . . . . . . . . determines the speed of sound in a medium.
  • A. wave sound
  • B. wave tone
  • C. Nature of medium
  • D. Wave amplitude
Correct Answer: Option C - Nature of medium determines the speed of sound in a medium. Speed of sound in different medium– Sound travels faster through solids and slower through gases. This is because elasticity of solids is much greater than that of liquids and the elasticity of liquids is much, is greater than that of gases.
C. Nature of medium determines the speed of sound in a medium. Speed of sound in different medium– Sound travels faster through solids and slower through gases.
