What is the speed of sound in space and how does it differ from the speed of sound in a medium such as air or water?
In space, sound cannot travel because there is no medium for it to propagate through. In a medium like air or water, the speed of sound varies depending on the density and elasticity of the medium. In general, sound travels faster in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases like air.
Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
If the temperature of the medium increases, the speed of sound also increases. This is because sound travels faster in warmer air due to increased molecular motion and faster propagation of sound waves.
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
How fast is the sound barrier?
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
Why does the speed of sound depend on air tempersture?
The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.

What does the speed of sound need?
A medium, usually air.
In general how does changing the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound through that medium?
As the temperature of the medium increases, so does the speed of sound. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound decreases (this is true for air, at least). To calculate speed of sound in air: V = 331 + 0.59T where T is the air temperature in degrees C.
Why is the speed of sound is too slow of rubber?
It is depends on medium. Sound has a high speed in air.
Which is true about speed of sound in air?
Well speed of sound in air at room temperature is 350 m/s . It depends on the density of the medium. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
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".
Why is the speed of sound quicker in a vacuum rather than in air?
There is no sound in a vacuum, you need a medium to translate the sound in. Waves on a pond are like sound waves in the air, in this case the water is the medium. Without air there is no sound because there is no medium to translate the sound to your ears.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
