How is the sound of knocking on a wooden door heard by a person on the other side?
A.) The sound waves from the knocking travel through the air around the door.
B.) The particles of the door vibrate, making sound waves that pass through the door.
C.) The energy of the knocking forms electromagnetic waves, which are converted into sound waves on the other side of the door.
D.) The energy of the knocking forms mechanical waves, which are converted into sound waves on the other side of the door.
What effect does the elasticity of the medium have on the speed of sound?
A.) if the speed of sound is increased, then that causes the medium to be less elastic
B.) the more elastic the medium, the slower the speed of sound
C.) if the medium is less elastic, then that causes the sound waves to move faster
D.) the more elastic the medium, the faster the speed of sound
