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.

chances to move around rapidly and vice - versa .

The speed of a wave is effected by?
The type of medium and temperature of the medium it is traveling through, to name a couple. There are probably more. Also, the type of wave, as a sound wave is far slower than a light wave.
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.
Do sound waves need a medium?
Yes. Sound wave is a mechanical wave and needs a medium.
Which wave requires medium?
Sound wave
What will happen when a wave travels through a medium?
when a wave travel through medium then sound is produced
What factors determines the loudness of sound?
Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?

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".
The speed of a sound wave in air depends on?
Temperature and the medium in which it is travelling

What medium is a sound wave from a speaker?
Air is the medium.
What is the sound wave mediums?
medium is a ssoouunnd wave
What is a wave that requires a physical medium?
A sound wave.
What is sound wave format?
The sound wave only travels in a medium, where the wave is in Longitudinal format.
