The speed of sound increases by 0.6 metres per second for a unit increase in the absolute temperature, from 331.5 metres/second at 273.15 K.

Can sound travel through absolute zero temperature?

Yes, sound can still travel through absolute zero temperature because sound waves propagate by causing particles to vibrate, and these vibrations can still occur at very low temperatures. Sound can travel through different mediums, such as solids, liquids, and gases, regardless of the temperature.


What is the speedof sound at normal temperature and pressure?

Usually we use a temperature of 20°C and an absolute pressure of 101.325 kPa for 1 atmospher.


Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?

Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.


Discuss effect of temperature on the velocity of sound?

Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - Wikipedia". There is a table of the effects of the temperature on sound. Don't say "velocity of sound", call it "speed of sound".


The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to what?

The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).Speed of sound depends mainly on the temperature.


What happen to the speed of sound as temperature increases?

Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - Wikipedia". Look at the table with "speed of sound c".


How fast is the speed of sound at an elevation of 20000 feet?

Forget the altitude. Care about the temperature!The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature and not on the air pressure of the altitude. At 20 degrees celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit the speed of sound is 343 m/s or 1236.3 km/h or 1126.7 ft/s or 667.1 knots.Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".Here is an easy calculator if you know the temperature. Do not care about the altitude!Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation of the Speed of sound in air and the important temperature".Asume a temperature of -70 degrees Celsius for a height of 44,000 feet.


Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?

The speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium. This relationship exists because higher temperatures lead to faster molecular motion, resulting in an increase in the speed at which sound waves can travel through the medium.


What is the velocity of sound at sea?

Do you mean speed of sound at sea level? Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".


What is the speed of sound at the absolute zero?

The speed of sound in air is 331.3 m/s at a temperature of 0°C.The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).Mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound are able to travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.Look at the link: "The Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".


How does temperature of medium effect sound wave?

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.


How does the speed of sound and temperature relate?

The speed of sound in a medium is directly related to the temperature of that medium, particularly in gases. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules also increases, allowing sound waves to travel faster. Specifically, in air, the speed of sound increases by approximately 0.6 meters per second for every 1°C rise in temperature. Therefore, warmer air facilitates quicker sound propagation compared to cooler air.
