I am somewhat confused about the speed of sound..since two of my prep books (jump start MCAT and FlowerSilver) offer contradicting explanations! haha. Instead of reviewing my textbook I felt like posting--in order to help you too.
does velocity of sound increases with increasing density? I know the modulus increase is directly proportional to v.. but is density as well. it makes sense that if the material is more dense it will convey sound slower due to shorter wavelength..right? confusion sets in..
please clarify these terms since my books have failed me,
