Slide 9

In which of these materials does sound travel fastest?

Slide 11

The speed of sound varies with

amplitude.

frequency.

temperature.

All of these.

Slide 12

The speed of sound varies with

amplitude.

frequency.

temperature.

All of these.

Explanation: Although loudness varies with amplitude, and pitch varies with frequency, speed is not influenced by amplitude nor frequency. A listener in the back row at a concert would find music confusing if sound of different frequencies reached the ear at different times.
