Does a 220 hertz sound wave move faster than speed as 440 hertz sound wave?

No. All sound waves in the same air move at almost exactly the same speed.
If different frequencies moved at different speeds, then live orchestras, choruses,
and bands would be impossible ... sounds from different instruments or voices
would reach the audience in the seats at different times. It would be a mess.

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
Does 220-Hertz or 440-Hertz move faster?
220 hertz is faster, because the higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. The wavelength directly correlates to the speed so therefore the object moving at 220 hertz is significantly faster. Not quite. The question is not about moving objects but wave speeds. The formula is velocity = frequency x wavelength, but for any given wave motion through a given medium, its velocity stays constant. Therefore the wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency alone. So a 220Hz signal travels at the same speed as the 440Hz signal, in the same medium.
Why does sound move faster through stone than water?
sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster. +++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The wave will move faster, increasing its speed.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
No. The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound. Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
Can aeroplanes move faster than the speed of sound?
soe can but not very often.
Which wave travels faster sound at 15 c sound at 30 c why?
The speed of sound in a medium depends on the properties of the medium. Generally, sound travels faster in denser mediums, so sound at 30 c would travel faster than sound at 15 c. But without knowing the specific properties of the mediums, it is not possible to determine the exact speed difference.

The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.

Which is faster and why speed or light?
Light is faster because speed does not move. Speed is a measure of the rate of movement but, in itself, it does not move - at all!
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?

What is the speed of sound according to scientists?
The speed of sound in air is 344metres per second or 1238 kilometers per hour or 770 miles per hour. In water sound waves move much faster, but slower at higher altitudes.

What type of waves move faster than speed of light?
So far nothing is found to move at a faster speed than that of light.
