Question

what are the factors on which the speed of sound in a gaseous medium depend ??????????​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is traveling. In general, sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium.

Answer 2

Speed of Sound in Gas

We should remember that the speed of sound is independent of the density of the medium when it enters a liquid or solid. Since gases expand to fill the given space, density is quite uniform irrespective of the type of gas. This clearly isn’t the case with solids and liquids.

The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends only on its temperature and composition. ...
