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.
Medium | speed before (m/s)
A 682
B 1,293
C 4,440
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 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 gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid. A is the gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid. 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 liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid. A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid. Skip to navigation
Based on the given information, we can determine that the speed of sound wave in room temperature air is 343 m/s. Comparing this to the speeds listed in the table, we can determine that medium A must be the gas, medium B must be the liquid, and medium C must be the solid.
Therefore, the correct response is: A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.
