The speed is Inversely dependent on the density of the medium, s=c/n(density)
Temperature, coefficient of restitution, density are some of the factors that affect the speed of sound in a medium.
The faster the wave, the denser the medium
Elasticity and Density of the medium c^2=elasticity/density
Yes, WAVE motion is slowed by the higher Density of the Medium.
The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
When temperature rises, the density of the medium changes. Speed of light through a medium is inversely proportional to the density of medium. So when the temperature increases, the density decreases and the speed of light in that medium increases. Note that this is the indirect effect of temperature. If light is travelling through vaccuum , then the temperature will have no effect on the speed of light.
The speed is Inversely dependent on the density of the medium, s=c/n(density)
When light enters a different medium (refracts), its speed changes.
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
Temperature, coefficient of restitution, density are some of the factors that affect the speed of sound in a medium.
The faster the wave, the denser the medium
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.
density
Elasticity and Density of the medium c^2=elasticity/density
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.
