What happens to a sound wave as air temperature decreases? A. The wave returns to rest a position

B. The wave’s speed decreases

C. Air particles push harder on the wave

D. The waves speed increases

Explanation:

goes down as the temperature decreases, and vice versa. Sound's frequency is independent of temperature, while its speed is directly proportional to temperature. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. ... This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
