Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
How is the speed of sound is affected by temperature?
To find the speed of sound at any temperature there is a formula used: velocity = 331 + .6T T would be the temperature you input, then the velocity would equal the speed of sound at that temperature. The speed of sound is affected by temperature, however the speed of light is not.
Does the speed of sound in water change with a temperature change?
yes it is changing. It's increasing with the temperature.
Explain how temperature affects 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 the temperature change the sound pitch?
If the temperature goes up so goes the pitch (frequency) for woodwinds, because the speed of sound goes up with temperature.
What property of sound changes with change in temperature?
Sound travels faster when the air is warm
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.
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
What temperature does sound travel faster in?
That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature. The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.

Is the speed of sound waves affected by the volume or pitch?
Volume (loudness), pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively. The speed of sound is not affected. Speed of sound is only affected by the temperature and not the air pressure.
How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?
Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
Does the speed of sound in water change with a temperature change?
yes it is changing. It's increasing with the temperature.

What property of a wave is affected by the amount of energy transported?
Intensity of sound is affected. Intensity is the amount of sound energy passing in unit time. Higher intensity sounds can travel longer distances.
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
