Sound waves behave differently in various media. In solids, sound waves travel faster than in liquids or gases due to the closer arrangement of particles, which facilitates quicker transmission of vibrational energy.
To summarize your options:
- Sound waves do not behave the same in every medium.
- They do not stop when they hit a solid; rather, they can be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed depending on the properties of the solid.
- They do travel faster in a solid than in other media.
- Thus, they do not travel slower in a solid than in other mediums.
Therefore, the correct statement is that **they travel faster in a solid than other mediums**.
