Answer:
Explanation:
Speed of sound in air at room temperature = 346 m /s
Let speed of sound in metal given = v m /s
Time take by sound wave travelling through air = 4 / 346 = .01156 s
Time taken by sound wave travelling through metal = 4 / v s
Given ,
.01156 - 4 / v = 11 x 10⁻³ s = .011 s ( time taken by sound travelling in air is more )
4 /v = .01156 - .011 = .00056
v = 4 / .00056 = 7142.85 m /s
