    The speed of sound increases with
    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.
