What else can I help you with?
A medium can effect speed of sound by changes in what?
When you change density and temperature you effect the way sound travels through a medium.
What is the effect of temperature on the speed of sound?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.
How does sound intensity decrease due to density of a substance it passes through?
The speed of sound and density are related as . So the greater the density the speed of sound decreases.
How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
What is the derivation of the speed of sound in a medium?
The speed of sound in a medium is derived from the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity. It is calculated using the formula: speed of sound square root of (elasticity / density).
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
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
Why does the speed of sound depend on air tempersture?
The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
How do density and temperature effect the speed of sound?
The sound travels faster through a dense medium. Colder temperatures are generally more dense, thus sound travels faster at a lower temperature.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
What two factors effect the speed of sound?
The two main factors that affect the speed of sound in a material are the density of the material and the elasticity of the material. In general, sound travels faster in materials that are more dense and have higher elasticity.
