Why is the speed of longitudinal waves sound in solids greater than that in liquids? a) Solids have lesser bulk modulus b) Gases have lesser density c) Solids have greater bulk modulus and density than gases but increase in bulk modulus dominantes over increase in density d) Gases don’t have lesser particles in a given volume and therefore transfer sound energy slowly
