The speed of sound in water is :

a=1,052+1.08t The speed of a sound wave in air depends on the air temperature. The formula above shows the relationship between a, the speed of a sound wave, in feet per second, and t, the air temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (.^(@)F) . Which of the following expresses the air temperature in terms of the speed of a sound wave?

A: Speed of light in a medium is independent of the motion of the source relative to the medium. R: Speed of light in a medium depends on the motion of the observer relative to the medium.

The speed of sound waves depends on temperature but speed of ligth waves does not. Why?

The speed of a sound wave depends on its wavelength lamda , and frequency v. Find an expression for the spped of sound.

A: When a narrow pulse of light is sent through a medium, it doesn't retain its shape as it travels through the medium. R: Since the speed of propagation in a medium depends on wavelength , different wavelength components of the pulse travel with different speeds.

(A ): Speed of EM wave in a medium depends on electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability of the medium (R) E.M wave transport energy in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields

A plance sound waves passes from medium 1 into medium 2 . The speed of sound in medium 1 is 200 m//s and in medium 2 is 100 m//s . The ratio of amplitude of the transmitted waves to that of incident waves is

Show that when the speed of the source and the observer are small compared to the speed of sound in the medium, the change in frequency becomes independent of the fact whether the source is moving or the observer.
