Question

Explain through an example that velocity of sound is more in solids as compared

to that in air.

Answer 1

That they are faster in solids than in air. and this is because of the fact that the density of the solids is more than that of air, which helps waves to move faster in solids.

For example:

if you hear the sound of a train from the tracks and the air and compare them, the sound in the air will reach you late than that of the tracks.

It means if the tracks get sound at the time ‘x’ then the sound you hear through air will be much more than x.
