No - it's a minimum. Zero in fact.

The velocity of sound in vacuum is?

The velocity of sound in vacuum is 0 m/s because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and therefore, there is no velocity of sound in vacuum.


Is velocity of sound is maximum in water?

Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.


Is velocity of sound maximum in hydrogen oxygen ammonia or in nitrogen?

The velocity of sound is highest in a medium where the particles are closest together and have strong intermolecular forces, which allows sound waves to travel more efficiently. Therefore, the velocity of sound is highest in ammonia, followed by nitrogen, hydrogen, and then oxygen.


The velocity of sound is maximum in?

The velocity of sound is maximum in solids, due to the tightly packed molecules allowing for fast propagation of sound waves. This is because solids have higher elasticity and lower compressibility compared to liquids and gases, resulting in faster transmission of sound energy.


How are amplitude and velocity related?

If you record your voice for example you have a certain amplitude and a certain velocity. If you listen to the recording and slow it down your velocity wil slow down and the amplitude will stretch wich will make it sound lower.

Speed of light is minimum in?

the velocity of light is maximum in vacuum I.e 3*10^8 m/s. as the density of the medium increases the velocity of light decreases in the medium. so the velocity of light is less in watt than in atmosphere. the thicker the medium is the slower the electromagnetic wave, so the velocity of light will be minimum in the thickest medium.

Does Light Travel More slowly in a Medium?

Light travels at its maximum velocity c in a vacuum. In a medium with a certain refractive index, it is slowed down and travels with velocity c/index

What is the maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in this vacuum chamber?

The maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in this vacuum chamber is 10-6 torr.


Where is Velocity of sound the most- in air or water or vacuum or in iron?

Sound is a mechanical wave, so it can't travel in vacuum. Sound speed will be higher when the molecules of the material it is traveling are closer to each other, this means that it travels the fastest in solids, medium speed in liquids and slower in gases. In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero. Sound doesn't propagate through vacuum. Shout as loud as you want to, and the sound goes nowhere if there's no medium to carry it. Two astronauts standing next to each other on the surface of the moon can communicate only by radio, or by touching their helmets together.


Why there is no sound year like light year?

The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.


What material is the velocity of light the greatest?

Light travels at its "maximum velocity" in a vacuum. In any other medium, interference makes it appear to slow down. We're giving Čerenkov radiation the day off here.


What is the maximum velocity of light?

The speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 kilometers per second (or 300 million meters per second). In a vacuum, light can ONLY move at that speed - neither faster, nor slower.
