Question

How do the following factors affect, it at all, the speed of sound in air:

i. Frequency of sound.

ii. Amplitude of sound.

iii. Temperature.

iv. Humidity.

v. Pressure.

Solution
Dear Student
Factors not affecting the speed of sound are pressure, amplitude, and frequency of the sound wave.
Speed of sound increases with increase in temperature.
Speed of sound increases in proportion to humidity in air. Humidity has a small but significant effect on speed of sound

Q.
How do the following factors affect, if at all, the speed of sound in air :

(i) the frequency of sound,

(ii) the temperature of the air,

(iii) the pressure of air,

(iv) moisture in the air?

Q. A source of sound operates at $2.0 k H z 20 W$ emitting sound uniformly in all directions. The speed of sound in air is $340 m / s$ and the density of air is $1.2$ $k g / m^{3}$ .
What will be the pressure amplitude at this point?
Q. How is the speed of sound in air affected by frequency of sound?
Q. Assertion - Variation in air pressure do not affect the speed of sound when temperature remains constant.
Reason - Speed of sound is directly proportional to square root of pressure.
Q.
Use the formula $v = \sqrt{\frac{γ P}{ρ}}$ to explain why the speed of sound in air is independent of pressure, increases with temperature, increases with humidity.
