Group of answer choices.

A. Distance that sound travels through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

B. Pitch of sound when it passes through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

C. Distance sound travels through a solid, a liquid, and a gas at varying temperatures.

D. Time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Answer:

D. Time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the time required for sound to travel is given by this formula;


Time = \frac {distance (x)}{speed (v)}

Hence, the time taken for sound to travel through each medium (solid, liquid and gas) would be measured, recorded and compared to one another.
