Select:
- The sound wave would travel through the unknown liquid slower than sound waves travel through a solid.
- The sound wave would travel through the unknown liquid faster than sound waves travel through air.
- The sound wave would travel through the unknown liquid with a speed closest to liquid water (from the chart).
Reason: sound speed is generally highest in solids, intermediate in liquids, and lowest in gases. Hence a liquid’s sound speed is slower than in a solid but faster than in air; if the unknown is a typical liquid it will be near the tabulated value for water.
