Question
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 the fastest in the water. This is because sound travels more efficiently in water than in air, due to water's higher density, which allows sound waves to propagate faster through the medium.
