When is the speed of sound near the ground less than the speed of sound higher up?
If the speed of sound near the ground is less than the speed of sound higher then in this special case the temperature at the ground must be less than the temperature higher up. Usually the temperature at the ground is warmer than the temperature high up in the sky. The speed of sound changes mainly with the temperature.
Does the temperature affect a cricket's chirp?
yes, higher the temp higher the sound
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.
Sound will travel fastest in air at what temperature?
The higher the temperature, the higher the speed.In dry air0o = 741.1 mph15o = 767.8 mph25o = 774.3 mph35o = 787.3 mph
Why does sound travels faster in a higher temperature?
because god decided to make it like that
How does temperature of medium effect sound wave?
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.
How does temperature affect the speed of sound through a material?
Temperature affects the speed of sound through material by kinetic energy. The more molecules the higher temperatures will have more energy.
What is the speed of sound at 12000 meters above sea level?
The speed of sound has nothing to do with the height above sealevel. It has only to do with the temperature there. The higher - the colder.
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.
Does the speed of sound increase when temperature increases?
Yes, as air temperature increase so does the speed of sound. This is due to the individual air particles having extra kinetic energy at higher temperatures, allowing vibrations of sound waves to pass easily.
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.
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
