Will a sound wave move faster in winter?

No it will move slower. Waves move faster in warm air and slower in cold air.


Do sound waves travel fast?

Depends on what they are traveling through- the denser the substance, the faster sound moves. It travels faster through water than through air. In air, the greater the air pressure, the faster it moves (denser air). The lower the temperature, faster the speed (cold air is dense). At sea level, 20 degrees Celsius, sound travels through air at 1126.547 ft/second- or about 768.095 mph

Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?

Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.


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.


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.


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.


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


Does sound travel faster on a hot or cold day?

cold day


Does a sound travel faster at night or during the day?

Sound is not greater during the nighttime. You are just more wary of it as you are tired and don't want to wake anyone up (if you live with someone else.)


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.


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.
