What is something that effects the speed of both a sound and light wave?

• Density of medium

• Temperature of medium

• Diffraction

• Whether or not it is in a prism

Why does light move faster the lower the density of a medium it is in?

• Less obstruction

• More obstruction

• It does not

• Because light will move faster with more obstruction by propagating.

Sound waves move faster in media with higher

Land animals will hear sounds before an aquatic animal.

• False

• True
