Assuming bulk properties of pure lead (at ambient pressure/temperature):

density(rho) = 11340 kg/m3

Young's Modulus (E) = 16 GPa

Poisson's Ratio(v) = 0.44

then, speed of sound, c is:

c = sqrt[E*(1-v)/(rho*(1+v)*(1-2*v))] = 2138 m/s

Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?

The speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium. This relationship exists because higher temperatures lead to faster molecular motion, resulting in an increase in the speed at which sound waves can travel through the medium.


When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?

False. In general, the speed of sound increases as the temperature of a medium increases. This is because higher temperatures lead to greater molecular motion, which increases the speed at which sound waves can travel through the medium.


What is the speed of sound through foam?

The speed of sound through foam can vary depending on the density and composition of the foam. On average, the speed of sound through foam is around 100-200 meters per second, which is slower than the speed of sound in air.


Does speed of sound increase with increase of temperature?

Yes, the speed of sound in air does increase with an increase in temperature. This is because higher temperatures lead to increased molecular motion, which in turn allows sound waves to travel faster through the medium.


What is faster sound or electricity?

Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.


As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?

The speed of sound through the medium also increases.


Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?

The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.


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 fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?

A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.


How does solid affects the speed of sound?

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


How fast is sound energy?

It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.


How slow or fast can sound vibrations go?

It depends very much on the medium which the sound has to travel through. Sound will not travel through a vacuum at all. Sound will travel faster through materials that are more dense, so that the speed of sound through solids and liquids is faster than the speed of sound through gases. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is faster at sea level than the speed of sound at high altitude. Generally, the speed of sound through air at sea level and normal temperatures is about 340 metres per second, while the speed of sound through a steel bar is about 5000 metres per second. However, the speed of sound through solids can be two different discrete values, depending on the mode of vibration propagation - compression waves or slower shear waves.
