Question 2 • FL-2003310-Physical Science - Teacher Directed Resource

Sound Wave A is moving through a medium that is decreasing in temperature.Sound Wave B is moving from a liquid to a gas medium.

Answer
A
They will speed up.
B
They will increase the density of their medium.
C
They will slow down.
D
They will decrease the density of their medium.

Explanation

As the temperature of a gas decreases, sound generally travels more slowly through it. Sound also travels much more slowly in a gas than in a liquid, so moving from liquid to gas slows Sound Wave B. Therefore, both waves will slow down; the correct choice is “They will slow down.”
