I know that light wave travels slower in glass than air according to n=c/v
and sound waves travels faster in solid than air, according to v= (elastic component/inertia component)^(1/2)
but why two types of waves are governed by two different principles?? What about other types of waves? do they travel faster or slower in solid than air?
Thank you!!
