Sound travels fastest through solids. 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. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.

The velocity of sound is maximum in?
1.water 2.air 3.mercury 4.iron
Is the velocity of sound at its maximum in a vacuum?
No - it's a minimum. Zero in fact. Sound can not travel in a vacuum.
Is velocity of sound maximum in hydrogen oxygen ammonia or in nitrogen?
hydrogen
What is the velocity of sound in water?
In fresh water, ~1500 m/s at 25°C
Velocity of sound in acetone?
Velocity of sound in Acetone is about 1174 m/s
The velocity of sound is maximum in?
1.water 2.air 3.mercury 4.iron
Is the velocity of sound at its maximum in a vacuum?
No - it's a minimum. Zero in fact. Sound can not travel in a vacuum.
Is velocity of sound maximum in hydrogen oxygen ammonia or in nitrogen?
hydrogen
Velocity of sound in water?
1454 m/s
Is sound louder or softer in a solid or water?
Sound is softer in water than in a solid. This is because the density of water is thicker, which hinders the velocity of sound.
What is the velocity of sound in water?
In fresh water, ~1500 m/s at 25°C
Give example where the velocity of the particle is 0 and acceleration is maximum?
When a pendulum reaches its maximum elongation the velocity is zero and the acceleration is maximum
What is the condition for maximum velocity?
The condition for maximum velocity is acceleration equals zero; dv/dt = a= o.
How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?
Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
What are the ratings and certificates for Maximum Velocity - 2003?
Maximum Velocity - 2003 is rated/received certificates of: USA:PG-13
Velocity of sound in acetone?
Velocity of sound in Acetone is about 1174 m/s
What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
