Question

Which of the following statements is true about the speed at which sound waves travel?

A:Sound travels faster through air

B:Sound travels faster in a vacuum

C:Sound travels faster through water

D:Sound travels faster through a solid

Answer 1

A: Sound travels faster through air

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. At 20 °C, the speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second, or a kilometre in 2.9 s or a mile in 4.7 s.

Answer 2

Answer: sound waves travel faster in solid than water or air.

In vacuum sound waves don't travel at all
