Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The speed of sound decreases when it goes from a solid to a gaseous state. Sound travels fastest in steel because the speed of sound is the fastest in solid. Sound is a mechanical wave that needs a medium for its propagation. It can travel through a material medium like air, water, iron rods, wires, etc. sound travels faster in solid than liquid. And it travels faster in liquid than in gases. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium. The loudness of sound may increase or decrease with the medium of propagation.
