The speed of sound in air, water and steel is different. If the speed of sound in air, water and steel is represented by `V_(a), V_w and V_s` respectively, then which of the following sequences is correct about the speed of sound in ascending order?

A

`V_a,V_w,V_s`

B

`V_s,V_w,V_a`

C

`V_w,V_s,V_a`

D

`V_a,V_s,V_w`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Sound travels faster in liquid than gases and fastest in solids.
Hence, the correct sequence is `V_a< V_w < V_s`
