Yes,
The speed of sound in dry air is approximated by the equation:
v = (331 + 0.6*T) m/s
where T = temperature in degrees Celsius

Does the speed of the wave change when you increase the tension of the spring?
No. The speed of sound is dependent on air pressure and temperature.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
Does wave speed increase as gravity increases?
yes,wave speed will increase as gravity increases.
How does temperature of medium effect sound wave?
For most mediums, a higher temperature results in higher density, and sound travels through denser mediums faster than through less dense mediums, so a lower temperature generally increases the speed of sound waves.
Does the speed of the wave change when you increase the tension of the spring?
No. The speed of sound is dependent on air pressure and temperature.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What effects speed and sound wave?
It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
The speed of a sound wave in air depends on?
Temperature and the medium in which it is travelling
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
What is the average speed for a sound wave at sea level?
The speed of sound has nothing to do with the sea level. It has much to do with the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
How will the speed of sound wave change if the temperature of the medium rises?
The speed will typically increase. It is hard to make a blanket statement though, because so much depends upon the type of medium being acted upon.
Does wave speed increase as gravity increases?
yes,wave speed will increase as gravity increases.
If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?
No. The length of a sound wave is it's frequency. Volume will increase the wave's AMPLITUDE.
