Sample Response: The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1. The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solids is faster than it is in gases.

The sound will reach my ear in a shorter time in Scenario 1.

The speed of sound waves in solids is faster than it is in gases.

Explanation:

The sound which is produce due to hitting of metal bar with a drumstick reaches to the ears in short time because sound is a longitudinal wave which requires or needs medium for its propagation from one place to another and in solids the particles of medium are close to each other as compared to air so the sound travels faster in solid materials as compared liquid and gases and takes less time to reach my ears.
