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.(2 points)

1 answer

Hypothesis: The friend will hear the bell faster in the pool than in the air. This is justified by the fact that sound travels more efficiently and rapidly through denser media, such as water, compared to less dense media, such as air.
