Question

Does the sound of an explosion travel faster than the sound produced by a humming bee?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

$No$

The speed of sound depends only on the physical conditions of the medium in which the sound is travelling and the speed and direction of the wind present if any.

The speed of the sound doesn't depend on its loudness.

Hence although the sound of explosion is much louder than the humming of a bee, both sounds travel with equal speed.
