Detailed Solution

The elasticity of the medium influences the speed of sound. Because solids have the greatest elasticity, it travels the fastest. Elasticity is lower in liquids and gases, so its speed decreases in liquids and is slowest in gases. As a result, sound travels the fastest in iron at a given temperature.
