The speed of sound varies with what is in the air, and very little with pressure. So there is no linear relationship. There is more pollution at a lower level, and temperature wil usually be higer. Heat does affect the speed of sound, and so does humidity. Engineers have to use a theoretical standard atmosphere for their calculations, because the makeup of the atmosphere changes in just a few yards.

What would happen to the speed of sound at a very high altitude?

The speed of sound increases with altitude due to the decrease in air density. This means that at very high altitudes, where air density is lower, the speed of sound will be faster compared to at sea level.


What is the relationship between the speed of sound and altitude?

The speed of sound increases with altitude. This is because the air is less dense at higher altitudes, allowing sound waves to travel faster.


How does the speed of sound change with altitude?

The speed of sound increases with altitude. This is because the air is less dense at higher altitudes, allowing sound waves to travel faster through the thinner air.


Does sound travel thru walls?

Yes, sound can travel through walls, but the level of sound transmission will vary depending on the density and thickness of the wall. Thicker and denser walls will block more sound compared to thinner and less dense walls. Soundproofing materials can be used to reduce sound transmission through walls.


How does sound travel in mph?

About 761 mph at sea level.


Will sound travel faster at 58c or 88c?

Sound travels faster in a medium at a higher temperature. Therefore, sound will travel faster at 88 degrees Celsius compared to 58 degrees Celsius.


How does sound travel through gas compared to a liqid?

Sound travels much less in a gas compared to a liquid, because liquids are more dense, giving the sound waves more to reverberate through.


Does sound get louder when traveling over water?

Sound can travel faster and further over water compared to air, but it does not necessarily get louder. The sound intensity can remain the same, with the medium affecting how far the sound can travel and how well it can be heard.


How fast do sound waves travel near sea level?

In Which substance will sound travel faster?

Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through them. In general, the denser the substance, the faster sound will travel through it.


In what state of matter do sound waves travel faster?

Sound waves travel faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together, allowing the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the denser medium.


What material allows sound to travel 4 times faster?

Sound travels about 15 times faster in steel compared to air.
