Question

What happens to the speed of sound when the temperature changes? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Sound is transmitted through air by compression waves.
• Compression waves at small scale, depends on molecules transferring energy one to another.
• The speed of sound is affected by the temperature.

• At higher temperature molecules have more energgy and vibrate faster.
• The speed of sound in room temperature is 34600metres per second.
• It is faster than 351metres per sec,which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperature.
• The speed of sound increases with increase in temperature.
