As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
actually medium has amain role in the speed of sound, In air the sound can move faster while comparing to any other medium like liquid ,solid
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
Is it true that the state of medium heps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium?
Yes it is true, the state of a medium helps determine the speed of sound passing through the medium.
As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?
Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
actually medium has amain role in the speed of sound, In air the sound can move faster while comparing to any other medium like liquid ,solid
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
What is the speed of sound and what does the speed depend upon?
It depends on the medium and the temperature. The warmer and thicker the medium the faster the sound travels.
Explain why the speed of sound changes if the temperature of the medium changes?
The speed of sound depends upon elasticity and inertia of the medium which in turn depend upon the temperature of the medium.That's why speed of sound depends upon the temperature of the medium.
