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.
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.
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
The speed of sound through oxygen at 0 and Acirc and degC is 316 meters per second. The speed of sound through solid copper is 5010 meters per second.?
No. The speed of sound in copper is well below that.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
How does foam turn sound into heat?
Sound is a vibration travelling through the air. When it hits foam, it causes the foam to vibrate, which in turn causes friction. The friction causes heat.
Why cant sound waves travel through foam?
Because sound waves carry energy particles called clots and clots are too large to pass through the low density material as foam
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.
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.
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.
How fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
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
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
How fast is sound energy?
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.
How slow or fast can sound vibrations go?
It depends very much on the medium which the sound has to travel through. Sound will not travel through a vacuum at all. Sound will travel faster through materials that are more dense, so that the speed of sound through solids and liquids is faster than the speed of sound through gases. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is faster at sea level than the speed of sound at high altitude. Generally, the speed of sound through air at sea level and normal temperatures is about 340 metres per second, while the speed of sound through a steel bar is about 5000 metres per second. However, the speed of sound through solids can be two different discrete values, depending on the mode of vibration propagation - compression waves or slower shear waves.
Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same
What speed does sound travel through a gas?
Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.
