Sound travels in rocks in the form of

The Earth has a radius of $6400 \ km$. The inner core of $1000 \ km$ radius is solid. Outside it,there is a region from $1000 \ km$ to a radius of $3500 \ km$ which is in a molten state. Then again from $3500 \ km$ to $6400 \ km$,the Earth is solid. Only longitudinal $(P)$ waves can travel inside a liquid. Assume that the $P$ wave has a speed of $8 \ kms^{-1}$ in solid parts and of $5 \ kms^{-1}$ in liquid parts of the Earth. An earthquake occurs at some place close to the surface of the Earth. Calculate the time after which it will be recorded in a seismometer at a diametrically opposite point on the Earth if the wave travels along the diameter.

If the frequency of a sound wave is $n$ and its velocity is $v$,what will be the new velocity if the frequency is changed to $4n$?

What is the ratio of the velocity of sound in hydrogen $\left(\gamma=\frac{7}{5}\right)$ to that in helium $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ at the same temperature? (Molecular weight of hydrogen and helium is $2$ and $4$ respectively)

The figure below shows pressure variation in two different sound waves in air with time at a given position. Both the figures are drawn to the same scale. Which of the following statements is true?

Why are the bells in temples and schools made of metal and not of wood?
