Which of the following statements is/are true of the speed of sound in different media at 25°C? A. In Aluminium, the speed of sound is 6220 m/s. B. In Nickel speed of sound 6040 m/s. Correct Answer Only B is true

The correct answer is option 1.

• In Nickel speed of sound 6040 m/s.
• In Aluminium, the speed of sound is 6420 m/s.

Important Points

Speed of Sound in Different Media:

• The speed of sound in the air is 331 m/s^–1 at 0ºC and 344 m/s^–1 at 22ºC.
• It depends on the type of the medium through which it is traveling.
• It depends on the temperature and pressure of that medium.
• Speed of sound Decrease- when it passes from the solid to the gaseous state of a given medium.
• Speed of sound Increase- In any medium, when temperature and humidity increase.
• Speed of Sound- Solid > Liquid > Gases
