Velocity of sound is maximum in steel. Because sound travels slowest in gases, faster in liquids and fastest in solids. Water and oil are liquids so velocity of sound is minimum than solids. Air is a gas so velocity of sound is minimum than solids and liquids.

Answer:
This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. The exact speed of sound in steel is 5,960 meters per second (13,332 mph)!
