Why solid substances can absorb sound more than the other substances

Open in App

Solution

Solid substances absorb more sound than any other substance as the molecules are closer together in a solid. So a large part of the sound is absorbed and very less is reflected. A rough surface absorbs more sound and reflects less sound than a smooth surface.
