Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which medium does sound travel the slowest?
  • Step 1: Understand that sound is a type of wave that travels through different materials.
  • Step 2: Identify the three common mediums where sound travels: air, water, and solids (like steel).
  • Step 3: Learn that sound travels fastest in solids because the particles are closely packed together.
  • Step 4: Recognize that sound travels faster in water than in air because water is denser than air.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since air is less dense than both water and solids, sound travels slowest in air.
