Do sound waves of different frequencies travel at different speeds?

No, light is slowed depending on what medium it travels through. That's why
we have the constant ' c ', defined as the speed of light 'in a vacuum'. The
actual speed light travels through air, glass, jello, or water, is less than 'c'.

∙ 15y agosound waves dont always go at mthe same speed because they change speed depending what they are going though e.g. they go faster though hard things and slower though softer.

∙ 12y agoit travels at different speeds on buses cars and airoplanes caus they need to go on holidays to Spain....... :)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoyes they do, it depends on the volume of each sound

∙ 7y agoIN A VACUUM, light will always travel at the same speed. The interesting (and weird) part is that this speed does not vary according to the observer.

In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
Why do things sound different under water?
because sound waves travel at different distances and speeds underwater plus the water is in your ear.
What is the fact of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
Is the concord air craft faster than a bullet?
depends on the bullet different calibers from different guns travel at different speeds comcord traveled at twice the speed of sound

because sound waves travel at different distances and speeds underwater plus the water is in your ear.
What causes the production of sound?
Vibrations in a medium which travel as longitudinal waves ultimately reaching your ear where the brain interprets different frequencies as sound.
Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?
No. The frequencies determine the sound.
Does sound travel through solid liquid or gas?
It travels through all three, but at different speeds.
How are light and sound alike?
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
What result from wavelengths and frequencies of light and sound?
Different wavelengths and frequencies of light are interpreted as different colours; those of sound are interpreted as pitch.

An ultrasound system can produce images of body structures because sound waves?
travel at different speeds through materials of different densities.
How ultrasound is able to produce images of body structures.?
Because, sound waves travel at different speeds through materials of different densities .
What is the fact of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium. Sound will travel the fastest through solids.
