Explanation:
Sound speed depends on the medium's nature. At higher temperatures, molecules have more energy, so they can vibrate more rapidly. The sound waves will travel faster as the molecules vibrate faster.
Sound travels in solids as fast as possible. The speed decreases in liquids and is the slowest in gases. Sound travels faster in iron for a given temperature, as it travels fastest in solids due to high elasticity,
