Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which medium does sound travel fastest?
Correct Answer: Solid
  • Step 1: Understand that sound is a type of wave that travels through different materials.
  • Step 2: Identify the three main types of materials: solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Step 3: Know that in solids, molecules are closely packed together.
  • Step 4: Realize that closely packed molecules allow sound waves to transfer energy quickly.
  • Step 5: Compare this with liquids and gases, where molecules are farther apart, making sound travel slower.
  • Step 6: Conclude that sound travels fastest in solids, especially in materials like steel.
