it travels faster in warner air since cold particles dont move very fast because they do not have much energy. then when warm air enters the particles they start moving faster and vibrating faster which moves sound along alot faster. hope this helps :).

Does sound travel faster in warm or cold air and why?
sound travel faster in cold air half i give you further other person will give
Would sound travel faster in warm air or cold air why?
The sound travel faster in warm air because the average mean speed of the molecules of air is faster in warm air than on cool air. Sound is transferred by collisions of molecules. Therefore sound waves will travel faster on warm air because collisions of molecules of air in warm air is greater.
Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?
Frequencies of sound should travel faster in cold air because it is more dense than warm air. Sound propagates much faster through water than air for the same reason.
Why does sound travel faster in warm?
Because the molecules are less dense and they vibrate faster letting sound travel faster
How fast does sound travel through stone?
The rate at which sound travels through stone depends on the stone. Sound will travel faster through warm stone than cold stone.
Does sound travel faster in some gases?
yes, sound does travel faster in some gases, but it usally dipends on the temperature. it trave l faster in warm air.
Do sound waves move faster through cold or warm air?
warm air
Does sound travel faster through different gases?
I learned the other day, in Physics that sound travels faster through warm, dense, humid air, then cold, dry, less dense air. I don't know why though.
Do warm fronts or cold fronts travel at the same speed?
Cold fronts tend to travel a little faster. When they catch up to the warm front, an occluded front is formed.
Does air travel from warm to cold or from cold to warm?
Cold to warm
Why does temperature affect the speed of sound?
Sound travels by vibrating molecules and passing the energy on to a nearby molecule. Sound travels faster through warm air than cold air because the molecules in the warm air are vibrating faster.
Will a sound wave move faster in winter?
No it will move slower. Waves move faster in warm air and slower in cold air.
