A student records the following speeds for identical sound waves in three different mediums: In a classroom (air) Underwater Through the top of a wooden lab table Speed of Sound Wave (m/s) 1,484 m/s 343 m/s 3962 m/s What relationship could the student draw between the speed of sound and the type of medium based on this data? As the medium gets denser, the speed of the sound wave increases. As the medium gets denser, the speed of the sound wave decreases. As the medium gets less dense, the speed of the sound wave increases. The density of the medium does not affect the speed of the sound wave.
