What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?

Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.


From which medium sound has highest speed?

SOLID


How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?

The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second, while the speed of sound in solids can vary but is generally higher than in air. In solids, sound waves travel faster due to the denser medium and stronger intermolecular bonds.


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.


Why sound travels in different speed in different materials?

Sound travels at different speeds in different materials due to differences in the density and elasticity of each material. Sound travels faster in solid materials compared to liquids, and faster in liquids compared to gases. The atomic structure of the material also affects the speed of sound propagation.


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


The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the ____ through which it travels?

Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.


What is speed of sound through a solid medium?

It depends on the medium.


WHAT IS The speed of sound through solid?

The speed of sound is the fastest through a solid. You can calulate the speed by the formula distance and time. It is the fastest through a solid because the molecules are closer together than the other states of matter, so the reaction time is shorter.
