Effects of humidity on speed of sound.

1 answer

Lower density translates into faster sound wave travel, so sound waves travel faster at high humidity. In room temperature air at sea level, for example, sound travels about 0.35 percent faster in 100 percent humidity (very humid air) than it does in 0 percent humidity (completely dry air).
