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, velo...
