What is the relationship between the speed of sound and its medium?
Mercurylee
the speed of sound is equal to one machs.the speed,2 machs means that the object is travelling twice the speed of sound

∙ 12y agoSpeed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T.
T = Temperature in °C.
Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.

∙ 12y agoit's an direct relationship. as the temperature rises, sound travels faster.

∙ 13y agoThe denser the medium, the faster the speed of sound through that medium. Sound travels through rock faster than water, through water faster than air.

As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
actually medium has amain role in the speed of sound, In air the sound can move faster while comparing to any other medium like liquid ,solid
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
How is the sound speed and the medium related?
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
What is the relationship between speed and medium?

As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?
Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
actually medium has amain role in the speed of sound, In air the sound can move faster while comparing to any other medium like liquid ,solid
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
How is the sound speed and the medium related?
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
What is the speed of sound and what does the speed depend upon?
It depends on the medium and the temperature. The warmer and thicker the medium the faster the sound travels.
