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)
what is correct?
Unfortunately, you haven't provided the options for the data tables. Please provide the options or include the data tables for us to determine which one is the most likely demonstration of her results.
what would a graph representing such look like?
A graph representing the speed of light waves and sound waves traveling through different mediums might look something like this:
Speed of Waves
|---------------------------------|
| |
| Solid | - | Light Waves
| | |
| | - | Sound Waves
| |
|---------------------------------|
Air Liquid Gas
Medium
In this graph, the x-axis represents the different mediums (solid, liquid, gas), and the y-axis represents the speed of the waves. The graph would have two lines: one for light waves and one for sound waves. The solid line would represent the speed of light waves, and the dotted line would represent the speed of sound waves.
The graph would show the comparison of wave speeds as they travel through the different mediums. You would expect to see that the speed of light waves remains relatively constant regardless of the medium, while the speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium, with solid having the highest speed, followed by liquid, and then gas having the lowest speed.
