Arrange in increasing order - Speed of sound in steel, in distilled water, in sea water and in oxygen.
Steel < distilled water = sea water < oxygen.
Oxygen < distilled water = sea water < steel.
Steel > distilled water > sea water > oxygen.
Oxygen < distilled water < sea water < steel
Sound from a flute and sound from a harmonica played by passing air through musical instrument, at same time and same distance from ear and traveling through same medium air, they differ in sounds due to difference in
Amplitude
Pitch
Wavelength
Speed of sound in air
