Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the speed of sound in air?
  • Step 1: Understand that sound travels through air as a wave.
  • Step 2: Know that the speed of sound depends on how quickly air molecules can move.
  • Step 3: Realize that when temperature increases, air molecules move faster.
  • Step 4: Recognize that faster-moving molecules help sound waves travel more quickly.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increasing temperature leads to an increase in the speed of sound in air.
