Detailed Solution

We are asked in the given question whether sound travels faster than liquids or not, which means we must determine the speed of sound in various states of matter. We'll use the phenomenon of intermolecular spaces, which can be found in solids, liquids, and gases, to figure it out.

The wavelength and frequency of sound waves can be used to describe them. Because the molecules of a solid are closer together and can transmit vibrations (energy) faster, sound travels faster through solids than through liquids and gases.

Hence, Sound can travels faster in solids and liquids than in air.
