Which of the following materials transmits sound the fastest?

Which of the following materials transmits sound the fastest?

Step 1: Understand that sound is a type of wave that travels through different materials.
Step 2: Know that sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases.
Step 3: Realize that in solids, molecules are closely packed together.
Step 4: Understand that closely packed molecules allow sound waves to transfer energy quickly.
Step 5: Compare the speed of sound in different materials: it travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.
Step 6: Conclude that steel, being a solid, allows sound to travel the fastest compared to other materials.
