| Mar 14, 2021 at 12:06 | comment | added | mr.anonymous | imgur.com/a/tM7sIoI (<--- see this) why is this fact in contrary ti the fact that speed of sound is most in solids(even though density is very high) | |
| Mar 14, 2021 at 11:58 | comment | added | mr.anonymous | i am studying speed of sound formula which was given by newton and corrected by laplace.. and i take temo to be same | |
| Mar 14, 2021 at 11:57 | comment | added | mr.anonymous | thats right but i am taking temp. to be same .. as @alephzero said this is the reason given in my textbooks . so according to this more dense less speed and vice versa(indirectly related) ,.. so why is this not applicable in solids. solids are significantly denser than gas but velocity in solids travel faster (directly related since more density more speed of sound) i am confused | |
| Mar 14, 2021 at 11:50 | comment | added | alephzero | The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends on its molecular weight. The MWs of oxygen (32) and nitrogen (28) are both significantly higher than water vapour (18) so the "MW of air" depends on the moisture content. | |
