Factors Affecting Speed of Sound in Gas-   The speed of sound in any gaseous medium is affected by a large number of factors like density, pressure, temperature, humidity, wind velocity etc.   In this article, we will discuss all these factors one by one.   Effect of Density-   The speed of sound in […]

Newton’s Formula For Speed of Sound In Gas-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Newton’s Formula For Speed of Sound in Gas.   We have learnt that- Newton suggested that when a sound wave travels through a gaseous medium, the medium undergoes an […]

Speed of Sound Wave In A Fluid-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Speed of Sound Wave in Fluids.   We have learnt that- The speed of sound wave through a fluid is determined by the bulk modulus and density of the fluid. […]

Sound Wave-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Sound Waves.   We have learnt that- Sound is a mechanical three dimensional and longitudinal wave. It is described in two ways- Displacement wave form Pressure wave form   In this article, we will learn […]

Sound-   Sound is a form of energy which produces in us the sensation of hearing.   It is emitted by a vibrating source such as- a guitar string human vocal cords prongs of a tuning fork diaphragm of a loudspeaker etc   Sound Wave-   The waves which carry sound energy are called as […]
