Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, sound travels faster because in solids the molecules are much more closer to each other as compared to liquids and gases.

Hence, distance between molecules is the minimum in solids and sound passes from one molecule to another easily.

Thus, we can conclude that people tend to cup their hands around listeners' ears when whispering to them because solid objects, such as a cupped hand, can direct sound waves into the ear of the listener.

What is the difference between obtaining knowledge from a controlled experiment versus other forms of scientific investigation?
solong [7]

Answer:

Any scientific investigation in its simplest form involves collecting information, while a controlled experiment is a tightly controlled investigation that tests a hypothesis.

Explanation:

All the scientific investigations start with a particular question. The question decides what type of investigation should research take. A controlled experiment is an investigation which allows a particular variable to change and all other variable controlled to remain constant to see the effect on dependent variable to test a particular hypothesis while other types of investigations are used to increase the knowledge or information about the particular research subject.
