You stir coffee in hot water and tap the side of cup, the pitch of sound produced by the tapping changes greatly as the coffee is added and as you stir. Why does this happen?
A. Air trapped in the instant coffee power is released as you stir it.
B. Coffee lowers the temperature of the hot water, lowering the speed of sound.
C. Coffee forms a temporary thin film on the top of the water which reflects some of the sound and changes its frequency by superposition effects.
