Solution

The correct option is D Amplitude
The speed of sound in gaseous medium is influenced by the following factors:
1. Temperature : The speed of sound in a gas increases with increase in temperature of the gas. v ∝ √T, where T is the temperature of the gas in kelvin.
2. Density : The speed of sound is inversely proportional to the square root of density of the gas
3. Humidity : The speed of sound in air increases with the increase in humidity in the air. Sound travels faster in humid air than dry air.
It does not depend on the amplitude of the wave.
