CONCEPT:

Sound in air: In gas-like air, the particles are generally far apart so they travel further before they bump into one another. There is not much resistance to movement so it doesn’t take much to start a wave, but it won’t travel as fast.

Sound in water: In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibrational energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Sound in solids: In a solid, the particles are even closer together and linked by chemical bonds so the wave travels even faster than it does in either liquid or air, but you need quite a lot of energy to start the wave at the beginning

Explanation:

  • From the above, it is clear that the more the density, the more is the speed

The correct order of speed is

⇒ VA > VB > VC

So, option 2 is correct.

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave. B: The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium.  C: The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. D: Sound can propagate through a medium such as air, water, and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse wave in solids.
Which of the. following statements is/are true in relation to sound waves? Statement I: Speed of sound decreases when we go from solid to a gaseous state. Statement II: In any medium, as we decrease the temperature, the speed of sound increases. Statement III: Speed of sound is less in the aluminium medium than in glass medium
