Question

Why does sound travel faster through denser materials?

Denser materials have a higher frequency

Denser materials have a lower pitch

Denser materials have particles packed closer together

Denser materials have a higher intensity

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Sound travels faster through denser materials because the particles in denser materials are packed closer together. This allows sound waves to transfer energy more efficiently through the material, resulting in a higher speed of sound propagation. The increased particle density also helps to maintain the wave's amplitude, leading to a higher intensity of the sound.
