A science student conducts an investigation to compare the speed of light waves to sound waves traveling through different mediums. She sends the same light and sound waves from the air through the same solid, liquid, and gas. She records the speed of each wave as it travels through each medium. Which data table most likely demonstrates her results?(1 point)

A)
Medium Speed of Light (m/s) Speed of Sound (m/s)
Solid 3 x 10^8 1500
Liquid 2 x 10^8 1000
Gas 1 x 10^8 500
B)
Medium Speed of Light (m/s) Speed of Sound (m/s)
Solid 1500 3 x 10^8
Liquid 1000 2 x 10^8
Gas 500 1 x 10^8
C)
Medium Speed of Light (m/s) Speed of Sound (m/s)
Solid 2 x 10^8 1000
Liquid 3 x 10^8 1500
Gas 1 x 10^8 500
D)
Medium Speed of Light (m/s) Speed of Sound (m/s)
Solid 500 1 x 10^8
Liquid 1000 2 x 10^8
Gas 1500 3 x 10^8
The correct answer is A)
Medium Speed of Light (m/s) Speed of Sound (m/s)
Solid 3 x 10^8 1500
Liquid 2 x 10^8 1000
Gas 1 x 10^8 500
