the velocity of sound is greater in moist air as compared to dry air because it's rate of vibration increses.

Velocity of the sound is maximum in which gas?
That is a difficult question. I would say that the denser the gas, the faster the speed of sound. Since the gas occupies a lot more space, sound energy/waves are transmitted more easily. :D
Do missiles travel faster than sound?
yes, Even a rifle bullet may travel faster than sound, but even then, it cannot reach escape velocity. Rockets seem to have beaten the escape velocity problem. A space missile will travel more than 11.2 km/s, which is about 10 times the speed of a bullet. +/- [Sound velocity ~ 330m/s.] The first body to leave the Earth was the Sputnik.
What happens when you look at lightning?
As the velocity of light is more than sound then you have a chance to be socked by this thunder, but if you heard the thundering sound then there is no chance to socked by that lighting because that thunder already dropped some where.
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
How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?
If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.
Effect of velocity of medium on velocity of sound?
Speed of sound has no effect on the particle velocity. Call velocity of sound better speed of sound. Call sound velocity better particle velocity. Velocity of sound is not sound velocity.
How does sound travel through gas compared to a liqid?
Sound travels much less in a gas compared to a liquid, because liquids are more dense, giving the sound waves more to reverberate through.
Why density of sound is more in moist air than in dry air?
I think you may have mixed your answer up with your question. Sound doesn't have a density, but air density affects the speed of sound. Moist air has a higher mass/density than dry air. Speed of sound is higher due to denser air.
Why doesn't the color of the police car change when the pitch of its siren goes up or down?
The frequency/wavelength of LIGHT is so high compared to sound that it requires much more velocity to experience the Doppler Effect with light. A car does not nearly approach that speed.

What do grasshoppers like more moist or dry grass?
moist
Is velocity of ultrasonic sound depends on density?
Yes - on density but not frequency. Sound (of any frequency) travels much more rapidly through water, for example, than through air.
Dose sound travel fastset through solid?
Sound travels faster through solids and other materials because it has more mass to vibrate, compared to air.
Do leopards roar?
Leopards do roar but it does not sound comparable to the roar of a lion. The Leopard's roar gives off more of a growling sound whereas compared to lions and tigers they give off more of a booming sound.

What is a velocity microphone?
A velocity microphone is a sensor whose electric output depends on the velocity of the air particles that form a sound wave . Examples are a hot-wire microphone and a ribbon microphone (bi-directional).Velocity-sensitive microphones also respond much more to wind noise than pressure sensitive microphones (omnis). You get heavy bass tip-up or proximity effect if the sound source is close to the microphone. Cheers ebs
