Answer:
See the explanation below
Explanation:
The speed of sound waves can be calculated using the following equation:
Let's do the exercise of comparing two materials one denser than the other, as is steel and aluminum
ro_steel = 7500 [kg/m^3]
ro_aluminum = 2700 [kg/m^3]
E_steel = 200 [GPa]
E_aluminum = 70 [GPa]
Now replacing the values in the equation for each material.
And for the aluminum
In this way we can see that sound propagates faster in denser materials.
