Speed of SoundSpeed of Sound
Sound waves travel though solids, Sound waves travel though solids, liquids and gases.liquids and gases. In which would the speed generally be In which would the speed generally be
greatest? Why?greatest? Why? Solids. Because the molecules are more Solids. Because the molecules are more
closely packed, the particles respond more closely packed, the particles respond more rapidly to compressions.rapidly to compressions.

Sound travels better Sound travels better through elastic through elastic liquids and solids, liquids and solids, such as water and such as water and rocks, than through rocks, than through air.air.
This is due to the This is due to the close proximity of close proximity of the atoms as they the atoms as they vibrate.vibrate.
How might the temperature of air affect the speed of How might the temperature of air affect the speed of sound waves? Why?sound waves? Why?
Higher temperature increases the speed of the waves because the Higher temperature increases the speed of the waves because the particles are moving faster and colliding more often.particles are moving faster and colliding more often.
Where Where v v is the speed of sound in air measured in m/s is the speed of sound in air measured in m/s and and T T is the temperature of the air measured in is the temperature of the air measured in degrees Celsius (degrees Celsius (ooC).C).
