\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\pink{Answer}}}}}\:

Sound travels fastest through the medium of solids .

\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\purple{Reasoning}}}}}\:

  • The speed of sound depends upon the properties of the medium through which it is travelling

  • When we look at the properties of gas we can observe that molecules in gas only collide while condensation and rarefactions of sound move about .

  • So the speed of sound has the same order of magnitude as the average molecular speed between the collisions

  • Sound travels faster in liquids as compared to gases as the particles are more tightly packed .

  • Sound travels the fastest in solids .

  • In solids particles are packed very closely to each other as they have density .

  • The closer the molecules , the tighter their bonds , the less time it take to reach to other molecules .

  • It is easier for sound waves to go through solids rather than liquids and gases .

  • Density is the mass of substance per volume .
