When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?
It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air. From other side if you have air which of course possesses certain temperature which is moving the sound speed will depend on both temperature and the vector of velocity (direction where it is blowing and and value how much it's blowing).
What is the relationship between the speed of sound and its medium?
the speed of sound is equal to one machs.the speed,2 machs means that the object is travelling twice the speed of sound
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
The speed of sound varies when?
sound travels faster or slower depending on the medium it is moving through and the temperature of the medium :]
Do speed of sound increases with increasing temperature in the ear?
Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.
Why does higher the temperature makes the sound travels faster in the air?
All other things being equal, Its the increased vibration of the air molocules at higher temperature that allows faster transmission of the pressure wave.
How do density and temperature effect the speed of sound?
The sound travels faster through a dense medium. Colder temperatures are generally more dense, thus sound travels faster at a lower temperature.
How does the temperature of the medium affect the speed of the sound?
For most mediums, a higher temperature results in higher density, and sound travels through denser mediums faster than through less dense mediums, so a lower temperature generally increases the speed of sound waves.
What property of sound changes with change in temperature?
Sound travels faster when the air is warm
Does sound travel faster in cold air or in steel?
Sound travels faster in steel than in air, regardless of temperature.
Does sound go faster through water or iron?
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
Could sound travel faster in solids or gasses?
Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.
At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.
Does thunder travel faster in a storm during winter or summer?
Sound travels faster in higher temperatures because in higher temperatures the molecules collide more often. Thus, as the temperature of the medium decrease, the speed of sound decreases. So in the summer.
What is the speed of sound and what does the speed depend upon?
It depends on the medium and the temperature. The warmer and thicker the medium the faster the sound travels.
Why does temperature affect the speed of sound?
Sound travels by vibrating molecules and passing the energy on to a nearby molecule. Sound travels faster through warm air than cold air because the molecules in the warm air are vibrating faster.
When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?
It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air.
