Question

What is the effect of humidity on quality of sounds propagation? Is there any difference in propagation of sound in air during the summer and winter seasons? Discuss

Answer 1

Solution:-

Generally sound travel faster in denser medium, therefore when humidity increases, sound travels at a faster rate. Hence quality of sound changes.

Sound travels faster in summer season than in winter season because the speed of sound increases with increase in the temperature that is with every $1°$ increase in temperature the speed of sound increases by $0.6m/s$ and in summer, temperature is high with respect to winters.
