What is the speed of sound when temperature is at -1°C? 3. What happens to the speed of sound when temperature increases? decreases? 4. How does temperature affect the speed of sound?
Answers & Comments
1.The speed of sound when temperature is at -1°C is 330.4m/s.
2.The speed of sound when temperature is at -45°C is 358.0 m/s.
3. As the temperature decrease,the speed of sound also becomes slower or decrease
4.Temperature effects the speed.At higher temperatures,particles move greater kinetic energy,so they vibrate faster.
