Sound travels fastest in which medium?
Sound travels fastest in which medium?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Solid
The speed of sound is fastest in solids. A material medium is necessary for the propagation of sound from one place to another. The medium must be elastic so that its particles may come back to their initial positions after displacement on either side. The elasticity of solids is more than liquids and gases. Thus, sound travels fastest through a solid material.
