The speed of sound waves through two different media, steel and air, was recorded. according to the graph, sound waves travel.

a) through steel, but not through air
b) faster through steel than through air
c) faster through air than through steel
d) through steel and air at similar speeds

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Sound waves are a type of longitudinal waves. These waves are the waves in which particles of the medium travel in the direction of the wave. These waves require a medium to travel.

Sound waves travel faster in solids than in the gaseous medium because the particles in solid state lie close to each other and the vibrations of the sound waves travel faster when the particles lie closer to each other.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.
