Answer:

Because, yes. The quicker sound waves move through a stiff material, the faster they will travel through it. This is because each molecule in a stiff substance is more linked with the molecules surrounding it.

Yes because The stiffer the medium the faster the sound waves will travel through it This is because in a stiff material, each molecule is more interconnected to the other molecules around it.
