The speed increases with the temperature. At 0 deg C it is 331 metres/second; at room temp (20 deg C) it is 346 m/s. The speed of sound increases at approx 0.6 m/s for each degree increase in temperature. This is only an approximation since the speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as pressure and humidity.

How does temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?
Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?
Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
It is possible to increase the speed of sound to the speed of light by increasing temperature or any other way?
no
Does the speed of sound in water change with a temperature change?
yes it is changing. It's increasing with the temperature.
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.
How does increasing the temperature affect the speed of sound in the air?
Speed of sound increases, when temperature increases. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
The speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium. This is because temperature affects the average speed of the molecules in the medium, which in turn affects how quickly sound waves can travel through it. As temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases due to the higher molecular activity.
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.
How is the speed of sound is affected by temperature?
The speed of sound increases with increasing temperature because the molecules in the medium vibrate more rapidly and transmit the sound waves faster. This means that sound travels faster in hotter temperatures compared to colder temperatures.
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 can the speed of sound through a gas increase?
The speed of sound may vary, depending on:* On the type of gas * On the temperature * On the pressure
Do speed of sound increases with increasing temperature in the ear?
Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.
