(a)
The speed of dry air at room temperature.
(a)
Answer to Problem 7A
The speed of sound in dry air at room temperature is
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The speed of sound in depend on the temperature & mass of particle.
The speed of sound of dry air at 0° C is 330 m/s . As the temperature increase the speed of sound increase thus the speed of sound in dry air at room temperature (20°C) is
Conclusion: The sound speed is 340 m/s.
(b)
The effect of temperature on the speed of sound .
(b)
Answer to Problem 7A
As the temperature increases the speed of sound increases.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The speed of sound depend on the temperature .
As the temperature increases the molecules speed increase. This increase in the speed will transit the sound wave faster than it before . Thus, as the temperature increases the sound travel faster.
For example :
The speed of sound of dry air at 0° C is 330 m/s . As the temperature increase the speed of sound increase thus the speed of sound in dry air at room temperature (20°C) is
Conclusion: The speed of sound increases with increases in the temperature.
