Correct Answer - Option 4 : Solid

The correct answer is Solid.

  • Sound travels faster in iron and slowest in air.
    • Its speed decreases in liquids and it is the slowest in gases.
    • Sound waves in solids are composed of compression waves, and a different type of sound wave called a shear wave, which occurs only in solids.
    • Shear waves in solids usually travel at different speeds, as exhibited in seismology.
