One of it should be moisture of air. The more moist,the more sound particles are going to collide wtih. Analogy: if ure in a swimming pool,u will hear sounds louder than that in air. This is becuz ure surrounded by the water particles. As parties vibrate,it hits the nearby particles and.the cycle.carries on.

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


What happens if you are travelling faster than the speed of sound?

When travelling faster than the speed of sound (supersonic speed), a sonic boom is created. This is a loud noise produced when an object passes through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. It can be disruptive and can lead to regulations on supersonic flight over populated areas.


How does density of an object relate to the speed which sound travels through it?

The density of an object affects the speed of sound through it as denser materials allow sound waves to travel faster. This is because denser materials have particles closer together, allowing for quicker propagation of sound waves through the medium. Conversely, less dense materials will have a lower speed of sound due to the greater distance sound waves need to travel between particles.


Does sound travel aster in steel or glass?

The speed of sound through glass is 3962 metres per second, which is about 13000 feet per second. In normal air, sound travels at a speed of 343 meters per second and in water the speed is 1,433 metres per second. Sound travels at a speed of 5,000m per second or 11,160miles per hour through steel. The speed of sound is dependant upon the medium through which it is travelling and not on the loudness or pitch. For instance, sound travels much better through water than through air.


What is a sound wave of 125hz and the speed of 5000 ms?

A sound wave with a frequency of 125 Hz has a wavelength of 40 meters (speed = frequency x wavelength). At a speed of 5000 m/s, this sound wave would have a period of 0.08 seconds (period = 1 / frequency).

How does solid affects the speed of sound?

The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.


What is the speed of sound travelling through glass?

It is approx 4540 metres/second


Is it Mach or times the speed of sound?

Mach is the speed of an object expressed as a multiple of the speed of sound in the same medium. Thus, an object travelling at 686 metres per second through air, at sea level, is travelling at Mach 2 because sound would travel through it at 343 m/s. However, it the object was travelling under water at the same speed then it would be travelling at approx Mach 0.46 since sound travels at 1484 m/s through water.

What is Mach 1 and 2?

The Mach number of an object travelling through a fluid is its speed relative to the speed of sound travelling through the same medium. So an aircraft flying at Mach 1 at sea level would be travelling faster than an aircraft flying at Mach 1 at a high altitude (where the air is thinner and sound travels slower). An object travelling at Mach 2 is travelling twice as fast as an object travelling through the same fluid under the same conditions (temperature and pressure). BUT In common usage, Mach 1 is the speed of sound in air, at sea level and 20 deg C.


What are the disadvantage of ultrasonic wave communicaton?

Communication is at speed of sound. Signal attenuation. Noise of signal travelling through air.


Is speed faster than sound?

A: it is an incorrect question;Speed and Sound are different and cannot be compared.speed is the ratio between distance and time (how long does it take to go how far?)sound is a compression wave travelling through a medium


How does temperature affect the speed of sound through a material?

Temperature affects the speed of sound through material by kinetic energy. The more molecules the higher temperatures will have more energy.


How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?

by causeing larger sound waves through objects


What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?

Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.


Term used for velocity of an aircraft at the speed of sound?
