Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?

because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed

How does each factor affect transmission of sound waves?
Pressure does not make any change in the speed of sound But temperature affects it. Velocity is proportional to the square root of kelvin temperature Humidity also affects the speed of sound. Higher the humidity more the speed
What is the speed of sound of krypton?
The speed of sound through krypton at 30 deg C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere is 224 metres per second.
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
What affects evaporation?
Factors Affecting Evaporation :An increase of surface areaAn increase of temperatureA decrease in humidityAn increase in wind speed
How does temp and humidity change the speed of sound?
Yes, it affects the density of air and thus the speed of sound in air.
What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?
Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.

What is the speed of sound of krypton?
The speed of sound through krypton at 30 deg C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere is 224 metres per second.
What affects the speed of sound through air?
It is an amazing fact that the speed of sound in air is a function of temperature only. Even very large pressure changes produce only very small changes in the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself. It is not dependent upon the sound amplitude, frequency or wavelength. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
Is sound produced when there are increases in pressure or oscillations in pressure?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
What is the relationship of speed of sound to the atmospheric pressure?
There is a relationsship of speed of sound to the temperature but not to the atmospheric pressure.
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
What affects evaporation?
Factors Affecting Evaporation :An increase of surface areaAn increase of temperatureA decrease in humidityAn increase in wind speed
What two characteristics of the medium affect the speed of the sound wave?
The exact material, amount of other substances (impurities) (for example, water moisture, in the case of air), the temperature, the pressure (which, in case of gases, affects density).
Did pressure greatly affect the peed of sound in the air?
No. Speed of sound is independent of pressure.
