Does sound travel faster or slower when the air gets warmer?
faster
Does sound travel 4 times faster in liquid?
No it actually travels slower.
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Does sound travel faster through a tree or air?
Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object
What of a sound wave depends on its amplitude?
More the amplitude, louder will be sound and longer will it travel.
How will different liquids affect sound?
Different liquids may make sound travel slightly slower, faster, or softer than in others.
What happens to a vibration when amplitude is changed?
as the amplitude increases the waves get closer together like an accordion being squeezed...so the vibrations become faster (or higher pitched if we're talking about sound) if the amplitude is decreased the waves spread out and the vibration is slower and lower in pitch
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound
Will sound travel faster or slower on moon than on earth?
Sound will not travel on the moon because on the moon there is no air, and sound works by vibrating particles next to each other. YES IT WONT TRAVEL AT ALL
Does light travel slower then sound?
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????
Does empty space make sound travel fastest?
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
Why does sound travel faster closer to the ground than in the air?
The stiffer meduim- travels quicker The denser the medium-travels slower
