How is the speed of sound affected by medium it travels through?
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
Does light travel at half the speed of sound?
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
What increases the speed of sound?
Sound has a max speed in which it travels, I believe it has a min speed as well and the amplitude is the variation between the min and the max?
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.
Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is faster then the amount of speed a sneeze can generate. The speed of sound travels 741mph while the information that is provided shows a sneeze can travel up to 100mph.
The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
How is the speed of sound affected by medium it travels through?
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
What is the fastest speed sound can travel at?
Speed of sound travels in gases (like air), in liquids, and in solids. In air at 20 °C speed of sound travels with c = 343 m/s.
How does a jets speed affect the sound?
sound travels at a certain speed but jets go faster than sound waves
How does light travel witch is faster light or sound?
Light is much faster then the speed of sound. Sound travels at a speed of about 768 Miles per hour, when light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per SECOND.
Does light travel at half the speed of sound?
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
Is the The speed of sound is the same the as speed of light yes or no?
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
What makes sound speed?
Sound is propagated as a mechanical wave. As with all waves it travels and so has a speed.
What speed does sound travel through a gas?
Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.
Does the sound of a bomb explosion travel faster in air than the sound produced by a chirping bird?
No. Speed depends on how dense the material is that the sound travels through- it travels faster in dense water than in light air. The VOLUME of the sound has no bearing on the speed that it travels.
