how does speed of sound change with humidity , and with temperature respectively

Solution

The speed of sound will increase with increase in the humidity in the air. Because the speed of the sound in inversely proportional to square root of the density of the air. And the density of the dry air is more then the of the humid air.
Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.
