Key Points
- Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed, which facilitates quicker vibration transfer.
- The speed of sound in a solid is much higher compared to liquids and gases due to the solid's higher density and elastic properties.
- In solids, the particles are bound by strong intermolecular forces, allowing sound waves to propagate efficiently.
- For example, sound travels at approximately 5000 m/s in steel, which is significantly higher than its speed in air (~343 m/s).
