What two factors affect the speed of a sound wave as it travels through a medium?

Question

the energy transferred by the wave and the density of the medium
the type of medium and the energy transferred by the wave
the type of medium and the temperature of the medium
the temperature of the medium and the energy transferred by the wave

Answer 1

The correct answer is the type of medium and the temperature of the medium.

The speed of a sound wave is influenced by the properties of the medium through which it travels, such as its density and elasticity. Additionally, temperature can affect the speed of sound, particularly in gases, as higher temperatures generally increase the speed of sound due to increased molecular activity.
