Speed of sound wave in air
Speed of sound wave in air

a) is independent of temperature

b) increases with pressure

c) increases with an increase in humidity

d) decreases with an increase in humidity

Answer:

The correct option is c) increases with an increase in humidity

Explanation:

Because air density drops with increasing humidity, the speed of sound waves in air increases. The speed of sound in a medium is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
