The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
the substance that energy is transfered through. For example when you hear a sound the transmission medium is air.
Sound.
There are many properties. Temperature medium are examples.
refrction
All properties such as a as liquid, solid, or a gas. All sound goes through a medium of a solid, liquid or a gas.
Sound requires a gas as a medium for transmission.
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
transmission of soud requires a medium so sound cannot transmit in vacuum
answ2. Treating a material (wall, glass, air) as a transmission line, much of the incident sound will be reflected at the interface between medium one and medium two. And a similar transmission loss when the sound is re-radiated from medium two into medium one again.The characteristics of the transmission medium (air, concrete, glass ..) are considered as those of spring and mass. If these are very different between the two materials (media) then there will be little transmission of sound.So a concrete wall will be a good sound insulator, whereas a fibrous material would not be.the vibrations that cause sound can't travel through the material
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
