Speed of sound in humid air


Asked by maham237 @ in Physics viewed by 283 People


The speed of sound in humid air than in dry air. Why ​

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

When moisture is removed from air, its density increases. The speed of sound in a humid air is inversely proportional to the square root of its density. Therefore, the speed of sound in moist air is humidity increases, the velocity of sound increase and vice-versa.

Hope it helps :)
