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 give by:v=

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.
