The velocity, v, of a wave in a taut string is dependant on the tension in the string, T, and the mass distribution (or mass per length ratio), μ.

v2 = T/μ

How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?

The pitch of a sound, which is determined by its frequency, does not affect its speed. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is roughly 343 meters per second. This speed is independent of the pitch of the sound wave.


How does a jets speed affect the sound?

sound travels at a certain speed but jets go faster than sound waves


What three properties of a medium affect the speed of a sound?

The three properties of a medium that affect the speed of sound are elasticity, density, and temperature. Answered by: Nur _ _ _ _ _ _ Izyani


How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?

The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.


How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?

Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.


Did pressure greatly affect the peed of sound in the air?

No. Speed of sound is independent of pressure.


What is the equivalent estimate to the speed of sound?

The speed of sound is 331 metres per second at zero degree centigrade and at sea level (air pressure and temperature affect the speed of sound).


What is pitch related to in terms of sound Does it affect its speed If so how?

Pitch is related to the frequency of a sound wave, where higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency and vice versa. Pitch does not affect the speed of sound, as the speed of sound is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling and is constant for a given medium.


When the source of sound is moving its speed increases true or false?

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.

How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?

Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.


How does temperature of a material affect the speed of sound passing through it?

Temperature is a fact for speed. Speed is increasing with the temperature.
