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
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.
See the links below. Remember to distinguish where necessary between the universal gas constant R (joules per mole Kelvin) and the particular gas constant R (joules per kilogram Kelvin)
Sound velocity profile refers to the variation of the speed of sound with depth in a medium, such as the ocean. It typically shows how the sound speed changes due to variations in temperature, salinity, and pressure. Understanding the sound velocity profile is crucial in underwater acoustics for applications like submarine navigation and communication.
The velocity of sound in the air is about 330 m/s. The velocity of sound in a liquid is about three times that. But varies widely with liquid. The velocity of sound in a solid body is about 4 or 5 times that of the sound in air. But once again, it varies widely with the solid. hint, check the values for lead and tungsten.
The velocity of sound in a gas is affected by factors such as the temperature, pressure, and density of the gas. In general, sound travels faster in gases with higher temperatures, higher pressures, and lower densities.
The velocity of sound is highest in a medium where the particles are closest together and have strong intermolecular forces, which allows sound waves to travel more efficiently. Therefore, the velocity of sound is highest in ammonia, followed by nitrogen, hydrogen, and then oxygen.
The velocity of sound is maximum in solids, due to the tightly packed molecules allowing for fast propagation of sound waves. This is because solids have higher elasticity and lower compressibility compared to liquids and gases, resulting in faster transmission of sound energy.
The Mach number
If you record your voice for example you have a certain amplitude and a certain velocity. If you listen to the recording and slow it down your velocity wil slow down and the amplitude will stretch wich will make it sound lower.
No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In an environment with no medium, like a vacuum, sound waves cannot travel and therefore do not have a velocity.
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
Terminal velocity. It is when something falls through a gas or liquid it accelerates, at a decreasing rate, until it reaches its maximum constant velocity.
The order in which the velocity of sound increases in media is: gas < liquid < solid. Sound travels fastest in solids due to their higher density and stiffness compared to liquids and gases.
When a pendulum reaches its maximum elongation the velocity is zero and the acceleration is maximum
The maximum velocity of photoelectrons is determined by the energy of the incident photons in the photoelectric effect. The higher the energy of the photons, the higher the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons.
