The speed of sound depends on

type (density) & temperature of medium

shape & type (density) of medium

Which is NOT an example of how echoes are used in everyday life?

Doctors use x-rays to see bones.

Beluga whales use echoes to find food.

Bats use echoes to detect objects.

Why do sound waves travel faster through solids than through gases?

Solids are the most dense (particles most tightly packed together), therefore the particles bump into one another at a faster rate.

Solids at the least dense (particles are farther apart), therefore the particles will bump into each other at a slower rate.

Sound waves don't travel faster through solids than through gases.
