Velocity of Sound in Solid, Liquid and gases with reasons and explanations..

Velocity of Sound in Solid, Liquid and gases
Velocities of sound in different mediums
Different questions and answers..

Q1. In which medium is the velocity of sound greater; solid, liquid or gas? Why?

=> Velocity of Sound is greater in Solid, than Liquid and gas.
It can be Summarized as:
Velocities are greater in
Solid> Liquid > Gas.

The Simple reason for this is that, the molecules in solid are tightly packed than in gas and liquid.

Also, more broadly, the reasons are in below questions….

Q2. Why does sound travels faster in metals (Solid) than in air?

=> Sound waves are longitudinal waves . Velocity of longitudinal Wave is
V = √(E/D).
Where,
            V = Velocity of longitudinal waves
            E = Elasticity of Medium
            D = Density of Medium
Now, velocity of sound depends upon the ratio (E/D). For solid medium, the ratio is much greater than that for the gaseous medium. Though density of Solids are high, but elasticity is relatively very very high resulting in greater value of the ratio (E/D). For air, it is relatively small.So, sound travels faster in metals than in air.

Q3. Velocity of sound in solid is greater than liquid, why?

=> Sound is a longitudinal mechanical wave. Its velocity in medium is given by the relation,
                  V=√(E/D)
                  Where, E and D are as mentioned earlier.
Value of modulus of elasticity (Elastic factor) is more greater in solid than in liquid so that, the ratio E/D is greater in solids than in Liquid.
So, Velocity of Sound is greater in Solids than in Liquids.

How to Remove Powered by Blogger – Attribution Widget?

In this article, I will be demonstrating how to remove or hide attribution widget ‘Powered by Blogger’ in footer of blogger blogspot blogs. Before going to the process, backup your blogger template , while editing html code if anything goes wrong or template modified design doesn’t work or looks good you can restore from backed up template. Here I have demonstrated you two methods for removing attribution widget. Some blogger templates may not support method 1 then you need to follow method 2 for successfully removing attribution widget. Method 1: Remove ‘Powered by Blogger’ by unlocking Attribution widget Step 1 : Go to your blog “Template” | click on “Edit HTML”. Step 2 : Here on drop-down “jump to widget” option and select Attribution 1 as shown below Step 3: After selecting Attribution 1 widget you will be able to see this line <b:widget id=’Attribution1′ locked=’true’ title=” type=’Attribution’> on your blogger template. Step 5: Once done click on...

Easy 12 steps to solve standard Rubik's Cube (333)( Fully explained with solution of flip doubts and all )

Easy 12 steps to solve standard Rubik's Cube (3*3*3) First of all , let us tell you in brief about Rubik's cube . It contains Six faces of Six different color {Blue , Green(opposite to blue) , red , orange (opposite to red) , white ( usually taken as reference color) and yellow (opposite to white) } To make you easy ,we have given easy name for the layers and moves of cube : (NOTE : A Center color of cube never moves so below mentioned color facing towards you , to the right , left , up, down and back is a center color which is in the middle of each layer ) FRONT LAYER F ( Front): The front layer of cube is facing towards you . If F move is to be done then , move the front layer in clockwise direction . F' ( Front prime ): If F' move is to be done then , move the front layer in anti-clockwise direction BACK LAYER B ( Back ) : The back layer is just opposite to the front layer. Suppose , if we take blue as...

What is a Country? देश भनेकाे के हाे?

Yesterday, on January 13, Nepal's Coat of Arms was updated to add Kalapani and Limpiyadhura as in the new Political map. In this context, we today discuss on what actually 'a country is for it's citizen.' देश भनेकाे के हाे? What is a Country? जनताका लागि देश के हो ? जनताका लागि देश संविधान, कानुन, नागरिकता, सिमाना र झन्डा मात्र हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश राजधानी, त्यसबीच ठडिएको दरबार र त्यसको गजुर हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश भनेको सरकार हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश निर्वाचन क्षेत्र मात्र हो ? हुँदै होइन । त्यसो भए जनताका लागि के हो त देश ? जनताका लागिदेश चार सिमानाभित्रको माटो मात्र होइन । योसँगै जोडिने भावना, प्रेम, ऊर्जा र सपनाहरूको बगैंचा हो । जनताका लागि देश आशा हो । जनताका लागि देश खेतमा झरेको पसिनाको बियाड हो । आन्दोलनहरूमा सडकमा पोखिएको रगत हो । आफ्ना सपनाहरूको कविता हो । जस्तो, एउटा शिशुका लागि आमाको काख । जस्तो, भर्खर हिँड्दै गरेको एउटा बालकका लागि पिताजीको हात । एउटा यात्रीका लागि देश बाटो हो, जसमाथि ऊ आफ्ना पैतालाका डोबहरू छोड्छ र गन्तव्यतिर बढ्छ । देश भनेको ...
