How the amount of air pressure effects a sound wave?
The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure). The speed of sound c = 331.3 + 0.606 × ϑ m/s. At the temperature ϑ = 20°C the speed of sound is c ≈ 331 + (0.6 × 20) = 343 m/s.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
How does air pressure change the effect of sound waves compression and rarefaction?
Air pressure does not affect transverse sound waves. The temperature is most important to do that. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself and is not dependent upon the amplitude, frequency, or wavlength of the sound. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
Does the speed of the wave change when you increase the tension of the spring?
No. The speed of sound is dependent on air pressure and temperature.
What is the sound barrier?
going faster than the speed of sound. It is a pressure wave of air that builds up in front of a plane, preventing it from going faster.
Can you control sound wave direction by changing the direction and presure of air?
You can control sound wave direction, by changing the direction and pressure of air.

How did pressure effects the sound when temperature is constant?
The atmospheric pressure has no effect on the speed of sound when the temperature is constant. The air pressure has no influence on the sound.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.

Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
What is energy to sound?
The energy in a sound wave is related how the air pressure changes as the wave move through the air. A moving object such as a vibrating drum head causes pressure disturbances in the air, which travel away from the object. The higher the pressure difference (between maximum and the 'normal' air pressure) will mean more intense sound (and more energy).
What effects speed and sound wave?
It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
What is the amplitude of sound wave?
the amplitude of a sound wave is the air around you's temperature and the time of sound timed together. +++ No - the amplitude of any wave is its "height", which in sound is the wave's pressure. Time and temperature are not involved in amplitude.
What does the amplitude of a compressional wave depend on?
Well, I take it you mean a wave in the air, like a sound wave (alternating compressions of air). Volume of a sound wave ( a type of compressional wave) is our perception of its amplitude, the amplitude is a measure in the intensity of the waves, or the amount of variation in air pressure. Our perception of pitch varies with the frequency, or how frequently the alternations in air pressure persist.
The low point of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
Trough
How is sound renewable?
Sound is just a pressure wave moving through air or some other medium. So as long as there is air, and as long as there is some form of energy around to create a pressure wave, there is no reason for sound to "run out". Therefore it is renewable.
Is sound a pressure wave?
Yes. Sound is made by moving air. Condensing and rarefying the air. A speaker moves back and forth to move air and make sound.
