What happens to the speed of a wave of the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
remains constant
Why does the speed of sound change if the temperature of the medium change?
because the density of the medium changes with temprature
What happens to the speed of a wave if the medium temperature and pressure do not changes?
remains constant
What is the effect of temperature on 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.
What makes the speed of sound change?
There are some factors. Temperature, medium are that factors.
A medium can effect speed of sound by changes in what?
When you change density and temperature you effect the way sound travels through a medium.
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Explain why the speed of sound changes if the temperature of the medium changes?
The speed of sound depends upon elasticity and inertia of the medium which in turn depend upon the temperature of the medium.That's why speed of sound depends upon the temperature of the medium.
What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
Speed of sound increase when temperature increases.
What is the effect on the speed of light when temperatures rise in the medium?
When temperature rises, the density of the medium changes. Speed of light through a medium is inversely proportional to the density of medium. So when the temperature increases, the density decreases and the speed of light in that medium increases. Note that this is the indirect effect of temperature. If light is travelling through vaccuum , then the temperature will have no effect on the speed of light.
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.
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.
