Why does sound travel faster at the bottom of a mountain than it does at the top?

Speed of sound in air is dependent on the air pressure, and air pressure is dependent on height above sea level. Up high, pressure is lower and speed of sound is different.


The medium in which speed of sound maximum?

The speed of sound is dependent on pressure and the density of the medium. velocity = square root of ( change in pressure / change in density ) In any given medium, both the pressure and density vary dramatically compared to air. So the effect is that the speed of sound is increased in materials that have a higher ratio of pressure to density. Some examples are: Air at 0 degrees C, absolute pressure 1 bar : 343 m/s Water at 0 degrees C : 1435 m/s Although the water is greater density than air, the pressure is much greater so sound travels faster. Diamond permits speed of sound at 12000 m/s


Does the speed of the wave change when you increase the tension of the spring?

No. The speed of sound is dependent on air pressure and temperature.


Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?

No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.


What is speed of sound in meter per second?

The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature and not on the air pressure. At 20 degrees celsius the speed of sound is 343 m/s.


What is the Velocity of air at sea level?

The speed of sound in air has really nothing to do with the sea level and its atmospheric pressure. Speed of sound is dependent on the temperature. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".


How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?

For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.


Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?

Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.


What has the higher speed of sound?

It Is solids like metals. Sound has a high speed n metals.


What affects the speed of sound through air?

It is an amazing fact that the speed of sound in air is a function of temperature only. Even very large pressure changes produce only very small changes in the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself. It is not dependent upon the sound amplitude, frequency or wavelength. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".


What does high pressure do to sound?

The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.


What material does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
