Question

Velocity of sound in maximum in :-

• A. Water
• B. Oil
• C. air
• D. iron

Answer 1

The correct option is D

iron

1. Sound travels at different speeds in different media like solid, liquid, and gas. This is because sound travels in a medium due to the transfer of energy from one particle to another particle of the medium.
2. And we know the velocity of sound in solid > the velocity of sound in Liquid > velocity of sound in gas
3. water and oil are liquid and the air is gas. Iron is a solid substance so the velocity of sound in iron is maximum.

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
