Step 1
The speed of a sound wave in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium (such as temperature and density) and is not directly affected by the intensity of the wave. Show more…

A sound source in your physics lab emits sound waves at a fixed frequency. Using a knob, you double the intensity of the sound wave. After the intensity of the wave is doubled, what is the change in the sound wave speed? The speed is 2 times as large at it was before. The speed is 2 times as low at it was before. The speed is 4 times as large at it was before. The speed does not change.

You use a set of speakers to play music at your 4th of July party. If a particular sound is emitted at a specific frequency and the intensity of the wave is doubled, how does the speed of the wave change? No answer text provided: There is no change in the speed of the wave as it depends on the medium. The speed will be reduced by two as it is indirectly proportional. The speed of the wave slowly dissipates. It will cause the amplitude to double, so the speed increases by four. The speed will double as it is directly proportional.
