Based on the type of medium, what can you assume about the speed of sound in glass?

question 10 options:

it will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*c and water at 20*c

it will be less than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*c

it will be less than the speed of sound waves in air.

it will be between the speed of air at 20*c and water at 20*c.

"It will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C."

Explanation:

Speed of sound in a medium depends upon the density and elasticity of the medium.

If the elasticity of a medium is greater and the density of that medium is lower, sound will travel faster. Although density is also a factor but the major factor is Elasticity.

Hence, sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and even slower in gases due to elasticity difference.

That is why the speed of sound in glass will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C.

ingenuity says that the answer is 2.7 m.
