Question

Speed of sound is maximum in which among the following ?

• A. Gases
• B. Vaccum
• C. Liquids
• D. Solids

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Solids

We know that, in solids all the particles are packed together and hence sound can travel from one to one very fast. Hence, speed of sound is maximum in solids and decreases from solids to liquids and liquids to gases. Sound can't travel through vacuum.
