Question

State whether given statement is True or False

Sound travels faster at a higher temperature than at a lower temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Temperature affects the speed of sound by changing the density of the medium in which a sound wave travels. In most cases, when the temperature of a medium increases so does the speed of sound through that medium.
The speed of sound changes with air temperature, humidity, and even air quality. The speed of sound is about 331.5 m/s at 0 degree-Celsius. The speed of sound increases by 0.6 meters per second (m/s) for every degree-Celsius increase in temperature.
Hence, the statement is true.
