Question

State the effect of pressure on the speed of sound in air.


Open in App
Solution

  1. In an ideal gas approximation, air pressure has no role to play in deciding the speed of sound.
  2. The pressure and density both contribute to the velocity of sound equally and thus cancel each other out.
  3. Hence, air pressure has no effect on sound speed.
