Question

The speed of sound increases with

A.

Age

B.

Temperature

C.

Time

D.

Altitude

Correct option is B


Correct Option: b)
The speed at which sound waves travel through a medium (like air) is not constant and depends on specific properties of that medium.
Information Booster:
· The speed of sound in a gas (like air) increases with Temperature (b).
· This is because at higher temperatures, the air molecules have greater kinetic energy and can transmit the vibrational energy of the sound wave more rapidly.
Additional Knowledge:
· It does not systematically increase with Age, Time, or Altitude.
· With Altitude, the air temperature usually decreases, which would decrease the speed of sound.
· Even if pressure changes, the speed in an ideal gas depends primarily on temperature and molecular weight.
