Effects of Temperature to speed of Sound

Sound is a form of energy created by vibrations that requires a medium to travel, with its loudness referred to as volume and its pitch determined by frequency. The speed of sound is influenced by the medium's elasticity and temperature, traveling fastest in solids and slower in gases. Sound plays a crucial role in human communication through speech and listening, utilizing the vocal cords and ears for production and analysis.

WHAT IS

SOUND?
A form of energy that
travels through the air.
WHAT IS
SOUND?
• Sound is made when
something vibrates.
• Sound needs a medium to
travel.
• The loudness of a sound is
called volume.
Intensity:The amount of energy that
flows through a certain area in a specific
amount of time
• Louder sound waves carry
more energy
• Intensity decreases as
distance increases.
WHAT IS
PITCH?
• The pitch of a sound is how
high or low it is.
• A sound with a high
frequency has a high pitch.
• Frequency is the number
of vibrations
per second.
HOW IS SOUND
TRANSMITTED?
Transmission of sound
requires matter (air,
liquids, solids) as
transmitting medium,
unlike light which can
travel through matter and
space.
HOW SOUND TRAVELS
• Sound waves carry energy
through a medium without
moving particles of the
medium along
• Each particle of the
medium vibrates as the
disturbance passes.
• When the disturbance
passes your ear you hear
the sound
• A common medium for
Speed of Sound:
Elasticity
• The more elastic the medium, the faster
sound travels
– Sound travels well in solids because they
are usually more elastic
• Particles of solids do not move very far , so they
bounce back and forth very quickly as the
compressions and rarefaction of the sound
waves pass
– Most liquids are not very elastic and sound
does not travel well
– Sound travels very slowly in gases because
gases are not very elastic
Speed of Sound:
•
Temperature
Sound travels more slowly at lower
temperatures than at higher temperatures

– This is because at low temperatures, the


particles of the medium move more slowly

– At low temperatures the particles are


harder to move and return to their original
positions more slowly.
• Example: @ 20ᵒC  343 m/s
@ 0ᵒC  330 m/s
HOW DO WE USE
SOUND?
• For human beings, sound is one
of the most important ways to
communicate by:

• expressing himself through


speech
• obtaining information through
listening
WHAT IS
SOUND?
The tools of information exchange
through sound are:

Throat: vocal cords for


producing and modulating
speech sounds
Ear: for listening and
analyzing sounds
HOW DO YOU MAKE
SOUND?
• You force air up through your
voice box, or larynx
• Your larynx consists of two folds of
tissue called vocal chords (like
guitar strings)
1. Determine the speed of sound on a cold winter day (T=3 degrees C).
2. What is the speed of sound in the air at a temperature of 25oC?
3. What happens to the speed of sound as the temperature decreases?
A. The speed increases
C. The speed decreases
B. Speed becomes velocity
D. The temperature has no effect
4. During the summer month, Baguio's temperature is averaging at about 16°C to 25°C
while Manila’s average temperature reaches a maximum temperature of 34°C. In which
place could sound travel slower. show you solutions to compare ?
5. What is the speed of sound in dry air at 0 °C?
