Speed of sound is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T.

T = temperature in °C.

Speed of sound at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.

What effects speed and sound wave?

It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".


What is the speed of sound in air at the particular temperature?

You can calculate the speed of sound through air based on air temperature with the following equation: speed in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)


How does increasing the temperature affect the speed of sound in the air?

Speed of sound increases, when temperature increases. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to what?

The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).Speed of sound depends mainly on the temperature.


What is the speed of sound in ft if the air temperature is?

The speed of sound in air at room temperature (approx. 20°C or 68°F) is about 1,125 ft/s. The speed of sound increases with temperature in the air, so for higher temperatures, like 30°C (86°F), the speed of sound would be slightly higher.


What will affect the velocity of sound in air?

The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature. Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


Explain how temperature affects the speed of sound?

Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.


Why the speed of sound dicrease with rise in temperature?

The question is wrong. With rising temperature the speed of sound is also rising. Air temperature affects the speed of sound. The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows: c = 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s * T (°C) c is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. One thing to keep in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature. The pitch of woodwind instruments goes up, when the temperature goes up.


What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases


How much is the speed of sound in air affected by the temperature of the air?

Speed of sound in air is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T. T = Temperature in °C. Speed of sound in air at 20°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.


Why does the speed of sound depend on the air tenperature?

It is all about the nature. Temperature causes the sound speed.


What is the speed of sound at sea level for Tucson?

The speed of sound has neither to do with the sea level nor with Tucson. Speed of sound has mainly to do with the temperature of the air. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
