Yes, but the speed of sound is slower then. The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows: c = 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s * T (°C)

c is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. One thing to keep in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature. The pitch of woodwind instruments and pipe organs goes down, when the temperature goes down.

How fast does sound travel in milliseconds?

Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. To convert this to milliseconds, you would need to divide the distance by the speed of sound. So, sound travels at 0.29 milliseconds per meter in air at room temperature.


Why does sound travel slower through a medium when it is at low temperature?

Sound travels slower through a medium at low temperatures because the particles in the medium have lower energy and move more slowly, causing sound waves to propagate more slowly. This reduction in particle movement decreases the speed at which sound can travel through the medium.


Is it true the Quality of sound depends on the temperature stiffness and density of the medium the sound travels through?

Yes, the quality of sound can indeed be influenced by the temperature, stiffness, and density of the medium through which it travels. Changes in these properties can affect the speed and propagation of sound waves, which in turn can impact the clarity and fidelity of the sound being transmitted. Generally, sound travels faster and with less distortion in mediums that are denser, stiffer, and at moderate temperatures.


What property of sound changes with change in temperature?

The speed of sound changes with temperature. In general, sound travels faster in warmer temperatures and slower in colder temperatures. This is because the molecules in warmer air have more energy and can vibrate more quickly to transmit sound waves faster.

Sound travels at the speed of what?

Sound travels at 350 m/s at room temperature. At 21 C it travels at 343.6 m/s.


How do density and temperature effect the speed of sound?

The sound travels faster through a dense medium. Colder temperatures are generally more dense, thus sound travels faster at a lower temperature.

At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.


Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?

Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!

Does the speed of sound increase of decrease or remain the same when air temperature increases?

decrease because when temperature is low water is present in atmosphere which let sound to go fast
