Question

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____. solids have greater frequencies the molecules in solids are very close together solids have more energy than other states of matter solids have more decibels

Answer 1

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is true that sound travels faster in solids. This is because in solid substances, molecules are much closer to each other due to which transfer of energy is much faster.

On the other hand, molecules in a liquid and gas are farther apart from each other due to which there will be less transfer of energy. As a result, sound does not travel quickly through liquids and gases.

Thus, we can conclude that sound travels most quickly through solids because the molecules in solids are very close together.

Answer 2

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____.

answer is: because solids r the most sense.

The distance between molecules in solids r very small.Because they are so close, they can collide very quickly, i.e. it takes less time for a molecule of the solid to 'bump' into its neighbor. Solids are packed together tighter than liquids and gases, hence sound travels fastest in solids.
