From which medium sound has highest speed?

SOLID


As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?

The speed of sound through the medium also increases.


What is necessary for sound to travel from one place to another?

Sound requires a medium through which it can travel, such as air, water, or solid materials. When an object vibrates, it causes the particles in the medium to vibrate, creating sound waves that travel through the medium. The speed of sound in a medium depends on its properties, such as density and elasticity.


Can sound travel through solid and liquid and gas?

Yes, sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels as vibrations, and these vibrations can move through the molecules of a material, whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through.


Velocity of sound depends on?

The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases


Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?

The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.


What are needed for sound to travel?

Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. It travels in the form of waves, which consists of compressions and rarefactions. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through.


Is the speed of sound affected by the medium which it travels through?

Yes. Sound travel faster through water than air n fastest through compact solid material like metal.


When is speed of sound the greatest?

The speed of sound is greatest in solids, as the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations faster. In general, the speed of sound increases with an increase in density and elasticity of the medium.


What is the following true of sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.


Is the speed of sound affected by a medium through which it travels?

Yes, the speed of sound is affected by the medium through which it travels. Sound travels faster in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases due to differences in the elasticity and density of the mediums.


What is the name of speed of sound?

The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
