NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Sound waves travel the SLOWEST through _____________.

• gases
• solids
• liquids

Sound is able to travel faster in solids than in air because the molecules in a solid are

• closer together than air molecules

• more easily moved than air molecules

• larger than air molecules

• moving faster than air molecules

A student placed an electric bell in a sealed jar and then removed the air from the jar using a vacuum. The expected result of this experiment would be:

• silence because vibrations cannot be transmitted to the jar through a vacuum.

• a lower pitched bell because sound absorbed by glass

• an increase in amplitude because sound travels better in glass

• an increase in amplitude because sound travels better in glass
