**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Speed of Sound**: The speed of sound in a medium is influenced by the medium's density and pressure. The formula for the speed of sound (v) is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}} \] where \( \gamma \) is the adiabatic index, \( P \) is the pressure, and \( \rho \) is the density of the medium. ...
