Question

If the speed of sound is $v$ in gases, then it's speed of sounds in solid will be

• A. greater than $v$
• B. less than $v$
• C. equal to $v$
• D. not comparable with $v$

Answer 1

The correct option is A greater than $v$

Speed of sound is least in gases and maximum in solids so the velocity by which sound will travel in solid will always be greater than $v$.
