Does the speed of light waves also depend on the temperature like sound waves ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the speed of light waves depends on temperature like sound waves, we can analyze the properties of both types of waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Speed of Sound**: - The speed of sound in a medium is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}} ...
