Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
It is known that sound waves travel in the form of vibrations, and in the air a huge gap between the particles because of which the sound waves can’t travel easily. In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids than in air because solids have strongly compact particles, which easily pass on vibrations.
The correct statement would be that the speed of sound is not the maximum in the air.
