The aluminum allows the sound wave to travel faster than air at 68 degrees because the molecules in aluminum are closer together.

This statement is true because solids are more dense than gases. Mechanical waves require a medium. The closer the molecules are, the quicker they can transfer the sound wave.

This statement is true because solids are less dense than gases. Mechanical waves require a medium. The closer the molecules are, the quicker they can transfer the sound wave.

This statement is true because solids are more dense than gases. Mechanical waves do NOT require a medium. The closer the molecules are, the quicker they can transfer the sound wave.

This statement is true because solids are more dense than gases. Mechanical waves do NOT require a medium. The farther apart the molecules are, the quicker they can transfer the sound wave.
