Speed of sound in solids is - (1) 10 times that in gas/ 10 (2) 20 times that in gas/ 20 (3) 5 times that in gas/ 5 (4) 15 times that in gas/ 15

1 Answer

Answer :

(4) 15 times that in gas/ 15 Explanation: Sound travels at 343 m/s in air; it travels at 1,480 m/s in water (4.3 times as fast as in air); and at 5,120 m/s in iron (about 15 times as fast as in air).
