As student is trying to design an artificial eardrum for their science fair project. They made their eardrum hollow to cut down on cost and weight. When they tested how long it took their test subject to hear a beep, they found that their control ear drum made out of wood did
better than their created one. The temperature that day was 98°F.
Determine which statement supports the students the student findings.
O
A. The created eardrum performed worst because sound travels faster in solids due to the large distance between the particles.
O B. The created eardrum performed worst because sound travels faster in solids due to the small distance between the particles.
C. The created eardrum performed worst because sound travels slower in air due to the small distance between the particles.
O
D. The created eardrum performed worst because sound travels slower through air in high temperatures due to the particles moving
slower.
