Solution
The maximum speed of vibrations which produces audible sound will be in ground glass.
Explanation:
The speed of sound, and thus the speed of vibrations that produce sound, is generally highest in solids. This is because sound waves are transmitted through the medium by vibrations of the particles within the medium. In solids, the particles are more closely packed and have stronger interactions, which allows for faster and more efficient transmission of these vibrations.
