Sound is effected by air pressure and temperature and the movement of the source. Light and radio waves are virtually unaffected by the air.

What property of sound is affected by change in air temperature?

The speed, and therefore also the wavelength (for sound of a given frequency), are affected by temperature.


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?"


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.


Did Edwin Armstrong invent the radio?

No, he did not, but he was certainly important in radio's growth and development. Edwin Howard Armstrong invented what we today know as FM radio. (Early radio used only the AM process to add sound to a radio wave.) Armstrong's invention improved the quality of the sound and made radio less likely to be affected by static.


How is the speed of sound is affected by temperature?

The speed of sound increases with increasing temperature because the molecules in the medium vibrate more rapidly and transmit the sound waves faster. This means that sound travels faster in hotter temperatures compared to colder temperatures.


Why does the speed of sound depend on air tempersture?

The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.


What is the effects of variations of pressure on the speed of sound in gase?

The speed of sound in a gas is influenced by variations in pressure, but primarily depends on the gas's temperature and molecular composition. In an ideal gas, when pressure increases at a constant temperature, the speed of sound remains relatively unchanged because both density and stiffness increase proportionally. However, at constant pressure, an increase in temperature results in a higher speed of sound due to reduced density. Thus, while pressure changes alone have a limited direct effect, they interact with temperature to influence sound speed.


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 a radio a sound energy?

A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.


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 much is the speed of sound in air affected by the temperature of the air?

Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?

The speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium. This is because temperature affects the average speed of the molecules in the medium, which in turn affects how quickly sound waves can travel through it. As temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases due to the higher molecular activity.
