Because Sound Need medium to travel nd in steel atoms are closely packed due to which it travel faster.

Guhan c said:   9 years ago
Atoms are tightly packed in a solid and thus the vibration will travel faster.

Isha said:   10 years ago
Speed of sound in steel is 5920 m/s.

Anguyo Silvestre said:   10 years ago
Correct. The speed of sound is more in solids than in liquids and gases.

Why did iron come last within air water iron if sound is at its maximum in solid?

S.ABHAY CHAKRA said:   1 decade ago
It happens in solids because molecules in solids are tightly packed.

Sound travels faster solids than in liquid and gases.

Kriti said:   1 decade ago
As sound waves are longitudinal waves they travel faster in solid medium compared to liquid and gas.
