Question

Does sound travel faster in a warm room or a cold room? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

So the speed of sound in a warm room will be more

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that speed of the sound is given by
`v=√(\gamma RT)`, here
`\gamma` and R is constant and T is temperature

It is obvious that the warm room has more temperature than the cold room and as the speed of sound is directly proportional to temperature

So the speed of sound in a warm room will be more

Answer 2

Answer : Sound travel faster in warm room.

Explanation :

The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the medium. Mathematically, the relation between the speed of the sound and the temperature is given by :

`v=√(\gamma\ R\ T)`

Where

`\gamma}` is the ratio of the specific heats

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the medium

We know that the temperature of the warm room is more as compared to the cold room.

So, it is clear that the sound travel faster in a warm room. The particles move faster when the temperature is high.
