Speed of sound has no effect on the particle velocity.
Call velocity of sound better speed of sound.
Call sound velocity better particle velocity.
Velocity of sound is not sound velocity.

∙ 14y agoI'm afraid I can only answer half your question: The medium has a strong influence on the propagation of a sound wave. In fact the speed of propagation will be fastest in solids and slowest in gasses. The close proximity of the particles allows for the distrubance to travel more quickly. Think of those old Western movies with the guy listening to the ground to tell if a stampeed is coming.

Sound pressure p
Particle velocity (velocity of sound) v
Zo = p / v
Look at the link: "Acoustic Equivalent for Ohm's law".

∙ 12y agoThe density of the medium determines the speed of sound through any given medium. Water is more dense, therefore sounds moves more slowly through it vs. air.

Give the effect of density on velocity of sound?
as density of medium increase velocity of sound decreases.
How does the medium affect the transmission of sound waves?
the medium will definitely effect the speeds of both speed and sound...check out the following articles from wikipedia for more information. speed of sound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound speed of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light
Why velocity of sound depend upon nature of medium?
The velocity of sound depends on the nature of the medium because the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity, determine how quickly sound waves can travel through it. In general, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because solids have higher density and elasticity compared to liquids and gases. Additionally, the temperature of the medium can also affect the velocity of sound.
How does the Doppler Effect effects sound?
There is a limitation od Doppler's effect in sound. Doppler's effect is applicable provided if the relative velocity of the source and the listener is less than the velocity of sound.
Does the velocity of sound change with medium?
Of course,velocity and wave length change.But frequency is constant.

How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.

The medium through which sound waves travel affects the?
Velocity.

Of course,velocity and wave length change.But frequency is constant.
A medium can effect speed of sound by changes in what?
When you change density and temperature you effect the way sound travels through a medium.
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
What is the velocity of sound at moon surface?
It is 0. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is no medium through which sound can propagate.
Speed of light is minimum in?
the velocity of light is maximum in vacuum I.e 3*10^8 m/s. as the density of the medium increases the velocity of light decreases in the medium. so the velocity of light is less in watt than in atmosphere. the thicker the medium is the slower the electromagnetic wave, so the velocity of light will be minimum in the thickest medium.
What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.
