What are three propertys of a medium affect the speed of sound?
There are many properties. Temperature medium are examples.
Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
What factors affect the speed of sound in a medium?
Temperature, coefficient of restitution, density are some of the factors that affect the speed of sound in a medium.
The speed of a sound wave depends on properties of the medium occurs when a sound wave moves from one medium into another in which its speed is different?

What tree properties of a medium affect the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is affected by 3 properties: Elasticity and Density of the medium through which the sound waves travel, and the temperature of the medium. Media with higher elasticity, like iron, for instance, transmit sound faster. (Elasticity is the ability of a substance to return to its original shape after being deformed by a force applied to it. Rubber has high elasticity, too.)
How does the medium affect the speed of sound?
actually medium has amain role in the speed of sound, In air the sound can move faster while comparing to any other medium like liquid ,solid
Does the speed of a wave depend on the medium it is moving through?
Yes. The speed of mechanical waves, like sound and seismic, depends on the mechanical properties of the medium. The speed of electromagnetic waves, like light and radio, depends on the electrical properties of the medium.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
What properties of sound is determined by the speed of the vibrations creating the sound?
All properties such as a as liquid, solid, or a gas. All sound goes through a medium of a solid, liquid or a gas.
In general how does changing the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound through that medium?
As the temperature of the medium increases, so does the speed of sound. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases (this is true for air, at least). To calculate speed of sound in air: V = 331 + 0.59T where T is the air temperature in degrees C.
When waves travelling from one medium to another medium its speed changeswhy?
The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties of the medium. When the mechanical properties of the medium change, the speed of the mechanical wave changes as a result. The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties of the medium. When the electrical properties of the medium change, the speed of the electromagnetic wave changes as a result.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
