Introduction :
Explanation:
Since sound require medium particles to propagate properly, hence the medium having particles much closer will enhance the movement (speed) of sound wave rather than the medium which have a long gap between the particles. Since, the molecules spacing for solid, liquids, and gases are different in that gas molecules are more spread apart & free to move, liquids are a little more structured, and solids are very compact.
The other reason for the different speed in different mediums is the elasticity of the medium. More the elasticity in the medium more will be the speeds of sound as we can understand with ball, more the elasticity of the ball more will it jump. Since steel is more elastic than air, so sound travels 19 times much faster in steel than its speed in air. E.g. if we put your ear on rail track we can hear the vibration of the train movement in the track much before than the whistle of the train which travels through air.
Light
and sound are the essential part of our life and with an absence of
one; we will not be able to communicate or to detect properly as we can
do with help of these two. Light and sound both are the sensations
produced by energetic particles with the help of which we will be able
to see or listen.
Difference between Speed of Light and Sound :
Regarding the speed of light and sound we can say the following points- Speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound in air.
- Light do not require the medium to travel with its speed while the sound require medium to propagate.
- Speed of light is much less in transparent than what it had in vacuum. While the speed of sound is much, fast in solid medium such as steel then in air.
Speed of light and sound : Conclusion
Why speed of sound Differ in different mediums means solid, liquid and air?Explanation:
