The speed of sound waves through two different media, steel and air, was recorded. According to the graph, sound waves travel A)
through steel, but not through air. B) faster through steel than through air. C) faster through air than through steel. D) through steel and air at similar speeds.
According to the graph, sound waves travel faster through steel than through air. Sound waves are compression waves. The closer the particles of the medium are, the faster the sound waves travel. Molecules are closer in steel than they are in air.
