Question

1. A bird perching in the tree hears the chirping of another bird. A whale hears

the songlike sound made by another whale swimming pcar it. Which sound
travels faster, the bird's chirping or the whale's singing? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

The sound from the whales singing is faster than that from the birds chirping.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound from the whales singing will travel faster than the sound from the birds chirping because sound travels faster through a medium than through air.

In this case the whales are in water which is a medium while the birds are in the air and thus, the sound from the water will travel faster.
