The speed of sound is in solids than in...

The speed of sound is ____ in solids than in liquids.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
False
Reason: Velocity of a sound wave is maximum in solids because they are more elastic in nature than liquids and gases. Since gases are least elastic in nature, the velocity of sound is the least in a gaseous medium.
`V_(S)gtV_(L)gtV_(G)`
