19 The speed of sound in ice water and steam is shown What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter Medium Ice Water Steam Temperature C 0 25 100 Speed of Sound m s 3200 m s 1500 m s 346 m s 2p O Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together Sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart Sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater so the heat transfers the sound energy O Sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles
