Question
A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media $W, X, Y$ and $Z$ between the sound producing body and the man. The medium $X$ brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium $Z$ takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium $W$ in bringing sound to man is less than that of $X$ but more than that of $Z.$ The medium $Y,$ however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
  1. Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume?
  2. Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
  3. Having the same composition as that on the moon?
  4. Having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?

Answer

  1. $Z$ medium has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
  2. $W$ medium has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
  3. $Y$ medium has the same composition as that on the moon.
  4. $X$ medium has a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
