Answered by kingofself

Answer:

The correct option is D : Iron

Explanation:

Sound : Sound is a longitudinal wave which propagates through compression and rarefaction. It requires a medium to travel. In vacuum, there is no medium to propagate sound , sound does not travel in vacuum.

In air , the speed of sound is 332m/s , in water the speed of sound 1500m/s is and in solid the speed of sound is approximately 6000 m/s. It can be observed from the above fact that, with increase in the density of the medium , speed of the sound increases.

So, speed of sound will be maximum in Iron.
