Problem

Three speeds of sound measured at 25∘C25^{\circ}\text{C} are listed below: 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}, 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}, 4800 m/s4800\,\text{m/s} These speeds correspond (not in order) to Air, Water, and Aluminium. Which option correctly matches each speed to its medium? a) Air – 4800 m/s4800\,\text{m/s}, Water – 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}, Aluminium – 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s} b) Air – 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}, Water – 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}, Aluminium – 4800 m/s4800\,\text{m/s} c) Air – 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}, Water – 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}, Aluminium – 4800 m/s4800\,\text{m/s} d) Air – 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}, Water – 4800 m/s4800\,\text{m/s}, Aluminium – 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}
