Among following media, sound has its maximum velocity in ......

A

air

B

water

C

vacuum

D

steel

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Speed of sound wave is` v = sqrt ((B)/(rho))`
Here among elasti cmedia-air, water and steel, it is steel for which ratio `(B)/(rho)` is maximum and so v = max. in steel. (Sound can not propagate in vacuum).
