Question

mention one of the factors on which the speed of sound in a medium depends​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of sound depends on the following factors: Density of air, Temperature, Humidity in the air as well the wind

Explanation:

Answer 2

The speed of sound in a medium depends on the density of the medium.

• The speed of sound in a medium depends majorly on a few factors- the density and the elasticity of that medium, and also the temperature of the medium.
• One of the factors, density, plays a very important role. Since density is the mass of the medium per unit volume, a material with larger molecules is heavier and hence has higher density.
• Because of higher density, the medium will transmit sound slower as the kinetic energy required to vibrate larger molecules is high.
• Hence, the speed of sound in a medium decreases with increase in density.
