A student performs an experiment by ringing a bell in the air and in a pool and measuring the time it takes for a friend to hear the bell. In one or two sentences, make and justify a hypothesis on which medium the friend would hear the bell the fastest

Answer 1

I hypothesize that the friend will hear the bell the fastest in the pool (water) compared to the air. This is because sound waves travel more efficiently in denser mediums like water than in less dense air, resulting in a faster transmission of sound in the pool.
