Question

sound needs a medium to travel from one location to another.match the following statements with the correct medium that sound travels through.solid gas liquidsound travels the fastestsound travels the slowestsound travels not the fastest, but not the slowestthe pitch gets a little higher in this medium but the amplitude (loudness) goes downparticles are moving the fastestthe amplitude is louder than in a solid but there is noticeable lower pitch

Explanation:

1. Sound travels fastest in solids because particles are tightly packed, allowing quick vibration transfer.
2. Sound travels slowest in gases as particles are far apart, slowing vibration transfer.
3. Liquids have particle spacing between solids and gases, so sound speed is intermediate.
4. In solids, sound's pitch rises slightly, but particle tightness reduces amplitude (loudness).
5. Solids have the closest particle arrangement, so particles vibrate the fastest when sound passes through.
6. Liquids have looser particles than solids, so amplitude is lower than solids, with no major pitch drop compared to solids.

Answer:

• Sound travels the fastest: Solid
• Sound travels the slowest: Gas
• Sound travels not the fastest, but not the slowest: Liquid
• The pitch gets a little higher in this medium but the amplitude (loudness) goes down: Solid
• Particles are moving the fastest: Solid
• The amplitude is lower than in a solid but there is no noticeable lower pitch: Liquid
