Which medium should the scientists use to create this insulating material?
A
The scientists should use plastic because it is a soft solid and the difference in firmness will cause the speed of the sound waves to increase.
B
The scientists should use paraffin wax because as the waves pass through the paraffin wax, the difference in density will cause the sound waves to slow down.
C
The scientists should use plexiglass because as the waves pass through the plexiglass, the difference in opacity will cause the speed of the sound waves to decrease.
D
The scientists should use nylon because as the waves pass through the nylon, the difference in the chemical composition will cause the speed of the sound waves to increase.
