Temperature affects the speed of sound through material by kinetic energy. The more molecules the higher temperatures will have more energy.

What are the two factors affect the speed of the sound?
the material through which it travels...temperature....
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.
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.
What affects how sound is transmitted?
Sound can travel, more or less, through any matter, but not at all through a vacuum. The main factors that affect the speed of sound are as follows: Temperature: Hotter materials allow sound to travel faster Density: Sound travels faster in denser materials Elasticity: This means the ability for the molecules of a material to bounce back to their original positions quicky. The more elastic a material, the faster sound can travel through it.
Does temperature affect sound?
no it does not or does it?
How does the temperature of the medium affect the speed of the sound?
For most mediums, a higher temperature results in higher density, and sound travels through denser mediums faster than through less dense mediums, so a lower temperature generally increases the speed of sound waves.
Does the temperature of water affect the pitch of sound?
Presumably you mean sound traveling through water. Temperature affects the density of water, therefore the speed of sound in water, and pitch is frequency, so yes, temperature affects pitch.
Which material does sound go through the quickest?
There is no material sound can go through the quickest. Sound always have the same speed.
How does the material and the thickness affect the sound that travels through?
thickness doesnt affect it. The higher the density of the material, the greater the speed of sound. e.g 330 m/s in air 1500 m/s in water 4500 m/s in solids
What three things affect the speed of sound?
the speed of sound depends on the material it is passing through and the tempature.colder tempatures will slow the transmission of sound whereas heat will speed it up...
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.
