Generally we take with sufficient accuracy the formula (equation) for the speed of sound in air
c = 331.3 + 0.606 × ϑin m/s in m/s.
Temperature ϑ(theta) in degrees Celsius.
You see the speed of sound changes with the temperature and therefore cannot be a constant.
No, sound velocity does not change based on sound frequency in a uniform medium. In a medium with a constant temperature and pressure, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the frequency of the sound waves.
False. Newton's work did not involve the speed of light and sound. The concept of constant speed of light was later formulated by Einstein in his theory of relativity. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it travels through.
The Boltzmann constant (k) has units of joules per kelvin (J/K). In the context of the speed of sound in an ideal gas, it is typically used in equations involving temperature and energy to relate the microscopic properties of gas molecules to macroscopic quantities. The speed of sound itself is measured in meters per second (m/s), but the Boltzmann constant contributes to calculations that ultimately help determine this speed based on temperature and molecular mass.
No. The amplitude of the sound (and therefore its loudness) will decrease at greater distances; the speed will remain constant (assuming other factors, such as the density of air and the temperature, are constant).
The five properties used to explain the behavior of sound waves are frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), wavelength, speed, and direction. These properties help describe how sound waves travel and interact with different mediums.
No.
yes
The atmospheric pressure has no effect on the speed of sound when the temperature is constant. The air pressure has no influence on the sound.
No, sound velocity does not change based on sound frequency in a uniform medium. In a medium with a constant temperature and pressure, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the frequency of the sound waves.
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
False. Newton's work did not involve the speed of light and sound. The concept of constant speed of light was later formulated by Einstein in his theory of relativity. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it travels through.
The speed of sound depends on the medium. There is no particular process that will simply increase the speed of sound.
False. The speed of sound in air is constant, around 343 meters per second. When the source of sound is moving, it can affect the frequency and intensity of the sound, but not the speed at which the sound travels.
Yes, it can. Perhaps the simplest example is when an object moves at constant speed, in a circle. In this case, the speed doesn't change; the velocity does.
Fresh water has more sound speed. Spongy water is what slows down speed of water.
No, the speed of sound in a medium is constant and does not change based on the volume of the sound. The intensity or loudness of a sound is related to the amplitude of the sound wave, not its speed.
No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.
