Question

A student does an experiment to find out how the speed of sound waves changes when traveling in different mediums (solid, liquid, gas). The table below shows the different speeds of the sound wave in each medium but does not list the specific medium.



The student knows that sound travels through room temperature air at 343 m/s. Using this information and the student's results, which medium is the solid, the liquid, and the gas?

A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.
A is the gas, B is the liquid, and C is the solid.

A is the solid, B is the liquid, and C is the gas.
A is the solid, B is the liquid, and C is the gas.

A is the gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid.
A is the gas, B is the solid, and C is the liquid.

A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid.
A is the liquid, B is the gas, and C is the solid.

Answer 1

I don't see the table values in your message, so I can't pick the letter-for-medium mapping directly. Use this rule to choose the correct answer:

- The entry with speed ≈ 343 m/s is the gas (room‑temperature air).
- The largest speed is the solid.
- The middle speed is the liquid.

So find which letter has ~343 m/s → that letter is the gas; of the other two, the higher speed is the solid and the remaining one is the liquid. If you paste the three speeds (A, B, C) I will pick the correct multiple‑choice answer.
