The speed of sound in diamond is 12000 m/s . How long would it take a sound wave to travel 1 Km through solid diamond?A) 0.083 seconds B) 12000 seconds C) 12 secondsD) 35.3 seconds

Respuesta :

Considering the equation for velocity, we have:

[tex]v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}\Rightarrow\Delta t=\frac{\Delta s}{v}[/tex]

In our case, we'll have:

[tex]\Delta t=\frac{1000}{12000}=0.083s[/tex]

Then, our answer is A) 0.083 seconds
