Does the direction and speed of wind affect speed of sound?
ChLgp6618
Yes, wind can blow and distort sound waves. This is apparent sometimes when listening to open-air concerts close to the sound stage and far from it. Wind currents and atmospheric phenomena can alter or distort the sound waves, which travel through air (some medium is required) by compressing and decompressing the air molecules. Winds and other air currents can perturb that action and distort the sound, either by altering its amplitude, changing its apparent direction, or even altering its frequency slightly.

∙ 10y agoYes, the formula to find the speed of sound at a determined temperature is: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T
This formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature. The speed of sound is also affected by humidity and air pressure.

∙ 15y agoYes it can because, depending on the wind speed, it creates air pressure diferences. if it is faster it travels slower and if its slower the sound waves travel faster. All of this is regardless of the wind direction.

∙ 8y agoYes it could be. It is increasing when direction and wind direction is same.

How is wind direction determined when there is no wind speed?
There is no wind direction, the wind is reported as "calm".
How is wind measures?
in miles per hourThe wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
How does wind speed affect tsunamis?
Wind does not affect tsunamis.
Apparatus use to find wind direction?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
How are wind speed and wind direction are measured?
An anemometer measures the wind speed, and a windvan measures wind direction.

How do oceans influence wind speed and direction?
The ocean does not influence wind speed and direction. The currents in the ocean are caused by wind speed and direction. The tides in the ocean are influenced by the phases of the moon.

How does wind speed formed?
when the wind direction picks up speed
Why a sound is made the wind blows through the leaves on a tree?
Sound is caused by a vibration of the leaves. Depending on the shape and stiffness of the leaves, the sound will sound different. Also the speed of the wind will affect the loudness and pitch of the sound.
