Is the speed of sound always constant?

No.


How did pressure effects the sound when temperature is constant?

The atmospheric pressure has no effect on the speed of sound when the temperature is constant. The air pressure has no influence on the sound.


Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?

No, sound velocity does not change based on sound frequency in a uniform medium. In a medium with a constant temperature and pressure, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the frequency of the sound waves.


Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?

Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.


Newton's work showed that speed of light and sound were constant true or false?

False. Newton's work did not involve the speed of light and sound. The concept of constant speed of light was later formulated by Einstein in his theory of relativity. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it travels through.


What process is primarily responsible for the increase of speed and sound on a rail road track?

The speed of sound depends on the medium. There is no particular process that will simply increase the speed of sound.


When the source of sound is moving its speed increases true or false?

False. The speed of sound in air is constant, around 343 meters per second. When the source of sound is moving, it can affect the frequency and intensity of the sound, but not the speed at which the sound travels.


Is the speed of sound a constant explain?

Generally we take with sufficient accuracy the formula (equation) for the speed of sound in airc = 331.3 + 0.606 × ϑin m/s in m/s.Temperature ϑ(theta) in degrees Celsius.You see the speed of sound changes with the temperature and therefore cannot be a constant.


Do louder sounds travel faster than soft sounds?

No, the speed of sound in a medium is constant and does not change based on the volume of the sound. The intensity or loudness of a sound is related to the amplitude of the sound wave, not its speed.


What is the relationship connecting the frequency of the sound source with the wavelength and the speed of sound in air?

The frequency of a sound source is directly related to the wavelength and the speed of sound in air through the equation: speed of sound = frequency x wavelength. As the frequency of the sound increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa, provided the speed of sound remains constant in the medium.


When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?

When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.


Does speed increase for an observer that stays in one spot when the source of a sound is moving?

No, the speed of sound is constant in a medium, so the speed of sound heard by an observer staying in one spot does not change if the source of the sound is moving. The frequency and wavelength of the sound may be affected by the motion of the source, but not the speed.
