Does the temperature of liquid or solid affects the speed of sound traveling through them?

yes, if the state of matter is heated or cooled, the distance between the molecules in that object are either spread out or pulled together; therefore, the sound waves will travel quicker through heated material, and slower through cooled material.

How does temperature affect matter?
As the temperature of the matter gets colder it will become more of a solid. (gas to liquid to solid) As the temperature of the matter increases it will become more of a gas. (solid to liquid to gas) And once the matter gets to be around 10,000 degrees, it may turn in to plasma.
Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.
How do P waves behave when traveling through a solid n liquid?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.
Is propanone a liquid or solid at room temperature?
propanone is liquid at room temperature
What energy change occurs when sound is produced?
Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the ____ through which it travels?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
What affects both the rate of solution and the solubility of a solid in a liquid?
Temperature affects both the rate of solution and the solubility of a solid in a liquid
What affects viscosity of a liquid?
viscosity decreases with increase in temperature
Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
What happens when sound is traveling through a liquid?
It slows down an becomes distorted.
What affects the setting time of concrete?
The liquid content temperature its concentration and the area's environment being concreted
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
Can conduction travel through liquids or gases?
The word conduction only applies to a energy force traveling through a solid, if an energy force was traveling trough a liquid or gas it would be convection.
Why is gallium liquid?
Gallium is a liquid, a solid, and a gas, but it changes states to became a liqiud solid, or gas. Gallium can exist in all states of matter.
Does mass affect equal volume how it falls through a liquid?
The only way that the mass can change is if matter is added or taken away. The volume of a liquid can increase if heated, such as the liquid inside of a thermometer. The thermometer is sealed and no liquid gets in or out, so the mass of the liquid is unchanged. But when the temperature goes up, the liquid expands and is forced to go up the thermometer.
