Solve the below given problem:
 
State Substance/ Medium Approximate speed
Solid Steel \(5000\ m/s\)
Liquid Water \(1500\ m/s\)
Gas Air \(340\ m/s\)
 
Compare the speeds by finding the ratio of:
(i) the speed of sound in water with respect to the speed in the air.
(ii) the speed of sound in steel with respect to the speed in the water.
 
1. Based on the data table, which sequence correctly arranges the media in decreasing order of the speed of sound?
 
2. The speed of sound in water is \(1500\ m/s\), while in air it is \(340\ m/s\). Which statement is supported by the given data?
