What factors affect the speed of sound in a medium?
Temperature, coefficient of restitution, density are some of the factors that affect the speed of sound in a medium.
What three properties of a medium affect the speed of a sound?
The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani
How does elasticity affect the sped of sound through a medium?

What are three propertys of a medium affect the speed of sound?
There are many properties. Temperature medium are examples.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
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
Why did you say the sound depend ion the medium through which the sound travel?
Since sound waves need some medium to propagate or multiply through it follows that the nature or density of the medium would directly or indirectly affect the nature of the wave.
What can affect the speed at which sound travels?
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
In general how does changing the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound through that medium?
As the temperature of the medium increases, so does the speed of sound. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases (this is true for air, at least). To calculate speed of sound in air: V = 331 + 0.59T where T is the air temperature in degrees C.
How does the medium affect the speed of a sound wave?
medium really affect the speed of sound the big example in front of us is sun as there are a lot of explosions on the surface of sun because of nuclear reactions but we cant hear them because there is a vaccum between earth and sun.
Why velocity of sound depend upon nature of medium?
The velocity of sound depends on the nature of the medium because the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity, determine how quickly sound waves can travel through it. In general, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because solids have higher density and elasticity compared to liquids and gases. Additionally, the temperature of the medium can also affect the velocity of sound.
How does the medium affect the transmission of sound waves?
the medium will definitely effect the speeds of both speed and sound...check out the following articles from wikipedia for more information. speed of sound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound speed of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light
