since the sound requires a medium to travel through. so the air is one of the medium for sound to travel. Therefore sound can travel through air.
A sound wave.
Sound is the oscillation of pressure through a medium and is measured in decibels.
It is the speed of sound in a fluid at stagnation conditions. For example, if you have air flowing at some speed V with a temperature T and pressure P, the speed of sound in the air at those conditions will be = sqrt(kRT). k is the ratio of specific heats (approx. 1.4), R is the ideal gas constant for air (approx. 0.2870 kJ/kg/K). If that moving air hits an object and stagnates, the pressure, temperature, and density of the will increase to the stagnation conditions by an amount proportional to the air's initial velocity. The stagnation speed of sound will be the speed of the sound at those stagnation conditions (most importantly the speed of sound at the stagnation temperature).

The speed of light is not medium: in vacuum, it is the highest speed that there can be. Hardly a definition of medium!
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
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
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
It depends on the medium and the temperature. The warmer and thicker the medium the faster the sound travels.
