Question

As the temperature of a medium increases, the speed of sound in it ___.

  1. Decreases
  2. Increases
  3. Remains the same
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

When there is an increase in the temperature of a medium, the speed of sound in it increases.

The correct answer is: Increases


    • The temperature and speed both depend on the media.
    • The increase in temperature of a media is directly proportional to the increase in the speed of sound.
    • As the temperature increases in a media, the speed of the sound in the respective media increases.
