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.

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.


How did pressure effects the sound when temperature is constant?

The atmospheric pressure has no effect on the speed of sound when the temperature is constant. The air pressure has no influence on the sound.


Discuss effect of temperature on the velocity of sound?

Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - Wikipedia". There is a table of the effects of the temperature on sound. Don't say "velocity of sound", call it "speed of sound".


What is the speed of sound in m?

It's about 340 m/s. Temperature, pressure, and humidity all have an effect on the exact speed.


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 is the speed of sound in air m-s?

It's about 340 m/s. Temperature, pressure, and humidity all have an effect on the exact speed.


What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?

The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.


When is the speed of sound near the ground less than the speed of sound higher up?

If the speed of sound near the ground is less than the speed of sound higher then in this special case the temperature at the ground must be less than the temperature higher up. Usually the temperature at the ground is warmer than the temperature high up in the sky. The speed of sound changes mainly with the temperature.


How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?

Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.


How does temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?

Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.


Does temperature affect the speed of sound?

Yes. The equation relating temperature (in degrees Celcius) to the speed of sound is v=331+0.60T. This means that when the temperature is 0C (the same as 32F), the speed of sound will be 331m/s.


What is the effect of temperature on velocity of sound?

Formula for speed of sound c = 331 + 0.6 × ϑ ϑ = temperature in degrees celsius. At ϑ = 20°C we get a speed of sound c = 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s. 1 °C change of temperature is equal to 60 cm/s change of speed of sound. The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure). The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading in the case of "speed of sound". The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary. The changing of atmospheric pressure does not change the sound of musical instruments in a concert hall or in a room. Look at link: "Temperature Dependence of Physical Entities".
