Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?

Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.

Why can't sound travel through a medium?
It Can it needs a medium to travel
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
Why did you say the sound depend ion the medium through which the sound travel?
Since sound waves need some medium to propagate or multiply through it follows that the nature or density of the medium would directly or indirectly affect the nature of the wave.
Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
They can both travel through a medium.
When the temperature wave that travel through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate?
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Why does sound move more rapidly -or slowly- through one medium than another?
Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.
Does light have a medium to travel through?
No, apart from "spacetime". But it CAN travel through a medium such as air or glass.

What needs a medium substance to travel through?
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.

What can travel through space without a(n) medium?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
