How does the speed of sound through gas increase?
There are two reasons. those ARE TEMPERATURE AND MOLAR MASS.
How will the speed of sound through a gas increase?
There are two facts. Those facts are temperature and molar mass.
What speed does sound travel through a gas?
Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.
How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?
Pitch of sound in air does not affect the speed of sound.The speed of sound in air is also not affected by atmospheric pressure.Temperature does affect the speed of sound in air.Similar statements are not true for liquids or solids. It stops being true for gasses when pressure and temperature are near the point that the gas will liquify.
What is the speed of sound in gas?
speed of sound in gas is 332m per second
The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
What properties of sound is determined by the speed of the vibrations creating the sound?
All properties such as a as liquid, solid, or a gas. All sound goes through a medium of a solid, liquid or a 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.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of a sound passing through?
on increasing of temperature, density goes low and it is known that density and speed of sound both are directly proportional hence speed of sound decrease when temperature increases esp in gas.
Does the speed of the sound change from medium to medium?
Dependence of the speed of sound on the properties of the medium: The speed of sound is variable and depends mainly on the temperature and the properties of the substance through of which the wave is traveling. For example, in low molecular weight gases, such as helium, sound propagates faster compared to heavier gases, such as xenon. In a given ideal gas the sound speed depends only on its temperature. At a constant temperature, the ideal gas pressure has no effect on the speed of sound, because pressure and density (also proportional to pressure) have equal but opposite effects on the speed of sound, and the two contributions cancel out exactly. In non-ideal gases, such as a van der Waals gas, the proportionality is not exact, and there is a slight dependence on the gas pressure, even at a constant temperature. Humidity also has a small, but measurable effect on sound speed (increase of about 0.1% to 0.6%), because some oxygen and nitrogen molecules of the air are replaced by the lighter molecules of water.

How do you increase running speed?
Push the gas...
Why speed of sound is more than liquid and gas?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through, and gas particles are spread out way more than liquid particles. This allows the sound to travel faster in more dense objects
