Describe how sound waves move through different types of matter. Compare the speed at which sound moves through solids, liquids, and gases and explain why sound travels differently through different types of matter.

Question

ujjwal · Answer

$$v=\sqrt{B/\rho}$$ where v is velocity of sound in medium
B is bulk modulus of medium
p (rho) is density of medium
Depending upon this formula variations in velocity of sound can be observed.. sound travels fastest in solids and then in liquids and slowest in gases..
