Question

The speed of sound is maximum in:

A.

Solid

B.

Liquid

C.

Gas

D.

Vacuum

Correct option is A

The speed of sound is greatest in solids, followed by liquids, and slowest in gases. This is because molecules in a solid are closely packed, allowing sound waves to transmit more quickly through the material. In a vacuum, sound cannot travel at all, since there are no molecules to propagate the sound waves.
