through less dense materials, because the molecules in a loosely packed medium collide more frequently

through denser materials, because the molecules in a tightly packed medium collide more frequently
through denser materials, because the molecules in a tightly packed medium collide more frequently

through denser materials, because the molecules in a tightly packed medium collide less frequently

1 answer

The correct response is:

through denser materials, because the molecules in a tightly packed medium collide more frequently.

Sound waves travel faster in denser materials because the molecules are closer together, allowing them to transmit the energy of the sound wave more efficiently through more frequent collisions.
