Question

your boss asks you to adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air you increase the temperature from 30 c to 36 c what's the velocity of the sound wave at this new temperature

Answer 1

initial speed of sound at 30 degree C

`v_1 = 349.6 m/s`

final speed of sound at 36 degree C

`v_2 = 353.2 m/s`

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that velocity of the sound in air is given by the formula as

`v = 331.6 + 0.6 t`

here we know that

t = temperature or air in degree celcius

so here at 30 degree celcius we can say that

`v_1 = 331.6 + 0.6(30)`

`v_1 = 349.6 m/s`

now at 36 degree C the speed of sound is given as

`v_2 = 331.6 + 0.6(36)`

`v_2 = 353.2 m/s`
