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.

Does of temperature of water affect the speed of sound?
no
How does temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?
Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?
Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
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.
Does temperature affect the speed of sound?
Yes. The equation relating temperature (in degrees Celcius) to the speed of sound is v=331+0.60T. This means that when the temperature is 0C (the same as 32F), the speed of sound will be 331m/s.
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.
What three properties of a medium affect the speed of a sound?
The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani
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.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of a sound passing through?
on increasing of temperature, density goes low and it is known that density and speed of sound both are directly proportional hence speed of sound decrease when temperature increases esp in gas.
Why will the temperature affect the speed of sound?

What are the two factors affect the speed of the sound?
the material through which it travels...temperature....
What will affect the velocity of sound in air?
The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
