I have three questions about sound waves. I could have asked my physics teacher but he fails to answer almost all the question out of our syllabus.
1- We have read that the speed of sound in solids doesn't depend on their desities. If that's the case then they depend on what thing?
2- There is a room made of pure aluminium. Outside this room a system is giving out sound waves. Will a person inside that room hear anything? What will be the difference on the outcome of the experiment its aluminium is replaced by wood?
3- Energy in sound waves travels as mechanical energy, right? If we are repeatedly hitting a steel bell with a striker, will the temperature of the steel bell increase since we are providing extra kinetic energy to the particles in sttel bell.
Thanks in advance.
