Question

Does sound travel faster or slower as temperature increases? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, sound travels faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. Solids are much more elastic than liquids or gases, and allow sound waves to travel through them very quickly, at about 6000 feet per second

Answer 2

Sound travel faster as temperature increases.

Explanation:

• Sound wave is a type of mechanical wave.
• Sound travels by a technique called rarefaction and compression of particles in the medium.

• Sound can also be defined as disturbance in medium by a matter which is transmitted further from the source.

• It results from back and forth vibration of particles of the medium through which the wave is travelling.

• When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding air molecules to vibrate, initiating a chain reaction of sound wave vibrations throughout the medium.

• Sound is produced when an object vibrates, creating a pressure wave. This pressure wave causes particles in the surrounding medium to have vibrational motion.

• As the particles vibrate, they move nearby particles, transmitting the sound further through the medium.

Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the medium to vibrate more rapidly and since the vibrations increase, sound propagation becomes faster.
