What is the relation between sound and the temperature of material?
I think there is no relation between sound and temperature. But velocity of sound is found to be proportional to the square root of temperature of the medium (air)
Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
Explain why sound speeds up when temperature rises.?
because when temperture is rises,then atom,particle present in envivornment began to move fast,so one particle reach repidly to other one,bcz of this rizn sound waves also move fast and result is that speed of sound wave rise..
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
Explain why the speed of sound changes if the temperature of the medium changes?
The speed of sound depends upon elasticity and inertia of the medium which in turn depend upon the temperature of the medium.That's why speed of sound depends upon the temperature of the medium.
How does temperature affect the speed of sound through a material?
Temperature affects the speed of sound through material by kinetic energy. The more molecules the higher temperatures will have more energy.
How fast is mach .95 in mph?
Due to mach speeds being the percentage of the speed of sound and the speed of sound changing with air density and temperature the answer varies but mach .95 at 30,000ft is 645.05 mph
Explain how temperature affects the speed of sound?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.
What is the relationship between the speed of sound and its medium?
the speed of sound is equal to one machs.the speed,2 machs means that the object is travelling twice the speed of sound
What is the speed lower than the speed of sound called?
speeds lower than the speed of sound is known as the subsonic speed. speeds greater than the speed of sound is supersonic (mach 1) and speeds that are many times above the speed of sound (above mach 0) are known as hypersonic sounds.
How do you explain sound to no hearing voice?
Explain vibrations, which they can feel. Then explain that sound is vibrations carried through the air.
Why is it that the higher the temperature the higher the sound?
Sound and temperature are not connected.
How does temperature affect the speed of a sound?
If the temperature rises, the woodwinds and the brass rises in the pitch, because of changing of the speed of sound. If the temperature rises all string instruments and the piano fall in pitch. Lower the temperature , faster is the speed of sound because at lower temperature molecules collide more often, giving the sound wave more chances to move around rapidly.
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.
