What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of sound dependent on frequency?
No, the speed of sound is not dependent on frequency. It is determined by the medium through which the sound waves travel.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
In what medium the sound travels faster?
Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are packed more closely together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the material.
What can affect the speed at which sound travels?
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
How does air pressure change the effect of sound waves compression and rarefaction?
Air pressure does not affect transverse sound waves. The temperature is most important to do that. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself and is not dependent upon the amplitude, frequency, or wavlength of the sound. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
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 sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?
No, sound velocity does not change based on sound frequency in a uniform medium. In a medium with a constant temperature and pressure, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the frequency of the sound waves.
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.
Is the speed of sound dependent on frequency?
No, the speed of sound is not dependent on frequency. It is determined by the medium through which the sound waves travel.
What has the higher speed of sound?
It Is solids like metals. Sound has a high speed n metals.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
In what medium the sound travels faster?
Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are packed more closely together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the material.
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".
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.
What can affect the speed at which sound travels?
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
