Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence sound travels fastest through steel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence sound travels fastest through steel in this case.
Detailed explanation-3: -Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, sound travels the fastest through iron at a given temperature.
Detailed explanation-5: -So, density is the main factor for sound to travel faster. In the given media, steel is the densest and vacuum is the least dense medium. Sound cannot travel in free space. Hence, sound can travel faster in steel.
