Sound waves travel fastest through:

Question

steel, water, or air?

Answer 1

Sound waves travel fastest through steel.

Answer 2

Steel because it's a solid.

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct. The speed of sound waves is determined by the density and elasticity of the medium it travels through. Solids, such as steel, have a higher density and elasticity compared to liquids or gases, which results in the sound waves traveling faster through them.
