Answer:

Speed of sound refers to the distance that is traveled by the sound waves when it propagates through a medium. Hence, the speed of the sound waves differs when it travels through different media, i.e., it shows a lower speed when travelling through gases, followed by liquid and finally solids.

The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, while it travels at a speed ranging between 3300-5000 m/s in wood. The speed of the sound waves that travel through water is 1481 m/s while it slightly decreases to 1350 m/s while travelling through petrol.

Thus, it can be seen that the speed of the sound waves is highest when it passes through a solid medium like wood.
