That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature.

The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it.

For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.

Will sound travel faster at 58c or 88c?

Sound travels faster in a medium at a higher temperature. Therefore, sound will travel faster at 88 degrees Celsius compared to 58 degrees Celsius.


Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?

Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.


At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.


How does air tempurature affect the speed of sound?

Sound waves travel through particle vibration, and when the temperature is high, the particles vibrate faster, thus the sound must travel faster with particles.


Does sound travel faster in some gases?

Yes, sound travels faster in gases that have lower densities and higher elastic properties, such as helium and hydrogen. The speed of sound is determined by the temperature and composition of the gas it is traveling through.


Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?

Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.


Can airplanes travel faster than sound?

NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning


How many times sound travel faster in solid as compared to liquid?

It depends on the temperature, the elasticity, and the density.


Will sound travel faster in 58 degrees Celsius or 88 degrees Celsius?

58 degrees because it is closer to 69 degrees.


Where would a sound wave travel if you increase the temperature of liquid and a gas?

In both cases, increasing the temperature of the liquid and gas would increase the speed of sound waves. In liquids, faster sound waves would travel deeper into the liquid due to increased particle motion. In gases, faster sound waves would travel further as the increased temperature leads to higher molecular speeds and less resistance to wave propagation.


What affects how sound is transmitted?

Sound can travel, more or less, through any matter, but not at all through a vacuum. The main factors that affect the speed of sound are as follows: Temperature: Hotter materials allow sound to travel faster Density: Sound travels faster in denser materials Elasticity: This means the ability for the molecules of a material to bounce back to their original positions quicky. The more elastic a material, the faster sound can travel through it.


Predict whether sound will travel faster in the air in the summer or the winter?

Summer because the air particles are more spread out and can move faster in more heat
