A couple attends an outdoor symphony in July and again in December. During the second performance, they both notice a delay in the sound, which gives the impression that they are listening to a recording rather than a live performance. What principle of the speed of sound best explains their observations?

• The speed of a sound wave varies with its wavelength and frequency.

• The speed of a sound wave depends upon the temperature of its medium.

• The speed of a sound wave is affected by the stat of matter of the medium.

• The speed of a sound wave changes depending on the density of the particles in the medium.

What role does the inner ear play in hearing?

• Captures sound waves

• transmits sound waves from air to fluids

• converts sound waves into electrical signals

What role does the outer ear play in hearing?

• captures sound waves

• transmits sound waves from air to fluid

• converts sound saves into electrical signals
