Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?
Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How do the speed of light and the speed of sound compare through air?
The speed of light through air at sea level is roughly881 thousand times the speed of sound.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What is the shape and structure of soundwaves when travelling through air?
Sound waves are when travailing through the air form a parentheses like shape like that ) varying in size and speed a travel.
What are the waves of the vibration in an air column called?
?? soundwaves?
What is speed of soundwaves?
Depends on temperature and air density. If we assume that the temperature is 21 and we are on the sea level, it will be 343.2 km/h. If it gets colder, the speed decreases. If we go to higher places (such as mountains), the speed also decreases.
Does space have air in it?
No, or at least not enough. That's why there is no sound in space. There are no air particles for the soundwaves to move.
How is sound absorbed and reflected?
Generated by the sound source will be present in the soundwaves propagated from the surrounding air.
How is sound energy absorbed and reflected?
Generated by the sound source will be present in the soundwaves propagated from the surrounding air.
What produces thunder?
when lightning strikes it opens up a bit of air called channel after lightning strikes air collapsed back in and create soundwaves called thunder
How does thunder causes?
when lightning strikes it opens up a hole in the air called channel then after lightning strike air collapsed back in creating soundwaves called thunder
Does the dark affect soundwaves?
No
What collects soundwaves?
eardrum
Are soundwaves longitudinal?
Yes
