A student does an experiment to find out how the speed of sound waves changes when traveling in different mediums (solid, liquid, gas). The table below shows the different speeds of the sound wave in each medium but does not list the specific medium. The student knows that sound travels through room temperature air at 343 m/s. Using this information and the student's results, which medium is the solid, the liquid, and the gas? (1 point) Responses A is the solid, B is the liquid, and C is the gas. A is the solid, B is the liquid, and C is the gas. A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid. A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid. A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid. A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid. A is the gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid.
Based on the given information, we know that the speed of sound waves in room temperature air is 343 m/s. Since air is a gas, it can be concluded that the medium A is the gas.
Additionally, the table shows that the speed of sound waves in medium B is 1500 m/s and in medium C is 5000 m/s. Comparing these values to the speed of sound in air (343 m/s), it can be inferred that sound travels fastest in medium C and slowest in medium A.
Therefore, based on the speeds of the sound waves, the medium A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.
Therefore, the correct response is: A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.
