Question

what is effect of humidity on quality of sound propagation ? is there any difference in propagation of sound in air during the summer and winter seasons ?

Answer 1

Generally sound travel faster in denser medium, so humidity increases sound travels at a faster rate.hence quality of sound changes.
sound travels faster in summer season than in winter season because The speed of sound increases with increase in the temperature that is with every 1 degree increase in temperature the speed of sound increases by 0.6m/s and in summer temperature is high with respect to winters.

Answer 2

Answer:Humidity and temperature do affect speed of sound.

Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air.

Under these conditions, sound can bounce between the gradient and the ground, forming regions of higher and lower sound intensity.

Also, as sound propagates through air, the air absorbs energy from the sound wave, weakening it.

This is the reason why when we hear sound of thunder in the distance it is only a low rumble.

The effect is significant only at frequencies above 2 kHz, and increases with frequency.

Hence the attenuation of sound effects in air is affected by the relative humidity.
