Did isaac newton create a books on light and sound?
Yes
In general how does changing the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound through that medium?
As the temperature of the medium increases, so does the speed of sound. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases (this is true for air, at least). To calculate speed of sound in air: V = 331 + 0.59T where T is the air temperature in degrees C.
Which American inventor became interested in sound because he was a teacher of deaf people A. Thomas Edison B. Alexander Graham Bell C. Isaac Newton?
Alexander Graham Bell
What is the speed of sound in air at the particular temperature?
You can calculate the speed of sound through air based on air temperature with the following equation: speed in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)
When did Newton discover the speed of sound?
Newton was more into light. Ernst Mach was the sound guy. Mach being the speed of sound.
Was Isaac Newton's sound experiment a success?
Yes it was.

Did isaac newton create a books on light and sound?
Yes
Was Isaac Newton's sound experiment accurate?
No, cause the temperature is not constant in a propagation of an acoustic wave. But almost accurate. check: http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath109/kmath109.htm
What are works of Isaac Newton in sound?
We don't think he has done any research or work on sound waves but only gravity waves.
How did Isaac Newton discover sound?
he never discovered sound. -------------------------------- I thought he discovered gravity and contributed laws of physics about forces I don't believe he had anything to do with sound JJ3001
Which scientist discovered gravity?
Gravity is a term coined by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton discovered Gravity. He noticed this phenomena in the world famous story when an Apple fell down from a tree under which Newton was sitting, and Newton thought, as to why the apple fall down and not upwards or sideways. Hence leading to his discovery of Gravity.

Who invented the ''inverse square law''?
The concept of inverse square law was developed by Isaac Newton in the late 17th century. Newton formulated the law to describe the intensity of gravitational force, stating that the force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This concept of inverse square law is also applicable to other physical phenomena, such as light and sound.
Was Sir Isaac famous?
Yes, Sir Isaac was famous.Specifically, the person in question is Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Sir Isaac made an indelible impact upon history as a mathematician, physicist and writer. For example, he played pivotal roles in human understanding of calculus, colors, gravity, movement through space, light and sound.
