What quantity depends on the speed of sound?

Answer 1

Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound... and so on.

The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).

Answer 2

speed of sound depends upon:-

1.temperature

2.molecular wieght

3.heat capacity

At a constant temperature, the ideal gas pressure has no effect on the speed of sound, because pressure and density (also proportional to pressure) have equal but opposite effects on the speed of sound, and the two contributions cancel out exactly. In a similar way, compression waves in solids depend both on compressibility and density-just as in liquids-but in gases the density contributes to the compressibility in such a way that some part of each attribute factors out, leaving only a dependence on temperature, molecular weight, and heat capacity .

Answer 3

The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or metal. The density and elasticity of the medium determine the speed of sound. In general, the speed of sound increases with higher temperatures and higher densities.
