Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a gas on the speed of sound in that gas?
  • Step 1: Understand that sound travels through gases as waves.
  • Step 2: Know that the speed of sound depends on how quickly the gas particles can move.
  • Step 3: Realize that when you increase the temperature of a gas, the gas particles move faster.
  • Step 4: Since the particles are moving faster, sound waves can travel more quickly through the gas.
  • Step 5: Conclude that as the temperature of the gas increases, the speed of sound in that gas also increases.
