How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Speed of light is minimum in?
the velocity of light is maximum in vacuum I.e 3*10^8 m/s. as the density of the medium increases the velocity of light decreases in the medium. so the velocity of light is less in watt than in atmosphere. the thicker the medium is the slower the electromagnetic wave, so the velocity of light will be minimum in the thickest medium.
Why there is no sound year like light year?
The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.
What is a Doppler effects?
Change of frequency (of sound or light) dependent on the relative velocity of the two objects.
Velocity of sound in acetone?
Velocity of sound in Acetone is about 1174 m/s
What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
What is the approximate velocity of sound in the air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
When was Velocity of Sound created?
Velocity of Sound was created on 2002-10-08.
Write an experiment to find the velocity of sound?
Write an experiment to find the velocity of sound?
Who invented light travels faster than sound?
The velocity of light was found by many scientists using different techniques. First Romer found the velocity of light by observing the eclipse and so he followed astronomical facts. First lab experiment done by Foucault. Due to some kind of limitations, later Michelson followed some precise method. Just by comparing the velocity of light with that of sound, we come to know that the former is much greater.
Give the effect of density on velocity of sound?
as density of medium increase velocity of sound decreases.
What is the velocity of sound in space?
Sound requires the physical compression and expansion of molecules to be transmitted, it is not electromagnetic energy like light and microwaves. It therefore cannot be transmitted through a vacuum so it cannot have a velocity in space
