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.
A= 682
B=1293
C=4440
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?
•A is the solid, B is the liquid, and C is the gas.
• A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid.
• A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.
• A is the gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid.
Based on the information given, we know that sound travels through room temperature air at 343 m/s. Comparing this value to the speeds provided in the table, we can determine the medium for each speed.
A = 682 - Since this speed is greater than the speed in air, it must be a slower medium. Therefore, A is the liquid.
B = 1293 - Since this speed is also greater than the speed in air, it must be a slower medium. Therefore, B is the liquid.
C = 4440 - Since this speed is the highest, it must be a faster medium. Therefore, C is the gas.
Therefore, A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid.
So, the correct answer is: A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid.
