HELPPPPP!!!!

What is the relationship between the density of a medium and the speed of sound waves?


There is no relationship since the speed of sound depends on the volume of a sound.

Sound waves can travel faster through materials that are more dense.

Sound waves can travel faster through materials that are less dense.

Sound waves always travel the same speed no matter the density of the medium.

Answer:

Sound wave scan travel faster through materials that are more dense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and the density of the medium it is travelling. Generally sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids.
