Module 4 - Speed of Sound

1. The module discusses how temperature affects the speed of sound, with the key points being that the speed of sound increases as the temperature of the medium increases. 2. It provides the formula to calculate the speed of sound in air at a given temperature, noting it increases by 0.6 m/s for every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature above 0 degrees Celsius. 3. Examples are given of calculating the speed of sound in air at various temperatures using this formula.

• The speed of sound is determined by the temperature of the
substance through which it travels. In air at 20 °C, sound travels
at 343 m/s, but that changes by about 0.6 m/s °C for every degree
centigrade; in 10 °C in air, sound travels only 337m/s.

• The speed of sound is affected by the medium's temperature.


The hotter the medium, the faster its particles move, and
hence the faster sound travels through the medium
• Temperature is a condition that really affects the speed of sound.
The temperature of the medium has a direct effect on the speed of
sound. The faster the sound travels, the hotter the medium.

• The speed of sound depends on temperature of the medium where


an increase is observed with an increase in temperature.
This means that at temperatures greater than 0 °C speed of sound is
greater than 331m/s. by an amount 0.6 of the temperature of the
medium.

In equation.

Where:
T = temperature of air in 0C and 0.6 𝑚 𝑠 ̊𝐶 (𝑇) is a constant factor of
temperature.

Keep
. in mind that this formula determines the average speed of sound for
every given temperature.
   
Solution: 𝑣 = 346
= 331 + 0.6 /°𝐶 (25 ̊𝐶) = The speed of sound is
331 + 15 346
