Sound waves travel at different speeds through various mediums. Consider a scenario where a sound wave travels through air, water, and steel. If a sound pulse is emitted simultaneously in each medium, which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between the time taken for the sound to reach a certain distance in each medium?
Assume the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 m/s, in water is about 1500 m/s, and in steel it is around 5000 m/s.
