Well speed of sound in air at room temperature is 350 m/s . It depends on the density of the medium. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium.

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.


Is it true that sound travels at the same speed as light?

The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second.


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.


Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?

The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it


What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases


Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?

Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air


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.


Why is the speed of sound in nitrogen similar to the speed of sound in air?

This is because air is 78% nitrogen.


In general how does changing the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound through that medium?

As the temperature of the medium increases, so does the speed of sound. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases (this is true for air, at least). To calculate speed of sound in air: V = 331 + 0.59T where T is the air temperature in degrees C.


The speed of sound in a solid is what than the speed of sound in air?

greater


Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?

No, it is not.


Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?

its not
