The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it travels. What do you think will happen to the speed of sound as the temperature increases and why?
A. As the temperature is increased, the speed of sound is also increased because molecules have greater kinetic energy which means that they can move and transmit sound faster B. As the temperature is increased, the speed of sound is decreased because molecules have lower kinetic energy if the temperature is high C. The temperature does not affect the speed of sound D. All the choices are incorrect
The speed of sound depends upon the properties of the medium it is passing through. ... Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are more tightly packed. In fresh water, sound waves travel at 1,482 meters per second (about 3,315 mph). That's well over 4 times faster than in air!
