What is the velocity of sound in solids?

The speed of sound in solid is 6000 meters per second while the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5100 meters per second. Another interesting fact about the speed of the sound is that sound travels 35 times faster in diamonds than in the air.

Does speed of sound depends on elasticity?

As a result, sound waves travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gasses. While the density of a medium also affects the speed of sound, the elastic properties have a greater influence on the wave speed. The density of a medium is the second factor that affects the speed of sound.
