Activity 2: SPEED OF SOUNDS IN DIFFERENT MEDIUMS

Directions/Instructions:
Part A. Read each statement carefully. Write TRUE if you think the statement about
speed of sound is correct FALSE if it is wrong. Write your answer on the space
provided.

Q1. Sound travels faster in water than in air. ____________________

Q2. Sounds can travel through empty space. ____________________
Q3. Sound can travel through solid and liquid. __________________
Q4. Sound waves can propagate as longitudinal or transverse waves, depending on
the temperature. _________________
Q5. The greater density of the medium the slower the sound is transmitted.
___________________

Part B:
1. Look deeply at the picture. The picture shows how speed of sound varies with
temperature. (Note:This will help you answer the problems on determining the
speed of sound)

2. Solve the following problems to determine the speed of sound as affected by the
temperature.
3. Use the formula/equation indicated below. You can use separate paper for your
answers.
v = 331m/s + (0.6m/s℃) T

where v is the speed of sound

T is the temperature of the air

Q1. Determine the speed of sound on a cold winter day (T=3 degrees C).
Q2. Find out the speed of sound in air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
Q3. Calculate the speed of sound if the temperature of the vibrating water is 28℃.
