What happens to the speed of sound in a medium when the bulk modulus of the medium increases

Physics

loris [4]2 years ago

When the bulk modulus of the medium increases, the speed of sound increases

The bulk modulus, which is often referred to as incompressibility, is a gauge of a substance's resistance to volume changes when compressed from all sides. It is determined by dividing the ratio of the applied pressure by the relative deformation.

Sound waves are mechanical waves, which means they are oscillations of matter. Hence they require a medium or system of particles (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. If the particles of the medium are near to each other, the transmission of energy is easy and hence, the wave travels faster.

Binding of a signaling molecule to which type of receptor leads directly to a change in the distribution of substances on opposi
Mrac [35]

When two sides of a membrane are in contact with each other, the distribution of ions will alter as a result of the binding of a signal molecule to a ligand-gated ion channel.

<h3>What is a ligand-gated ion channel?</h3>

Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are membrane proteins that are structurally integral and feature a pore that permits the controlled passage of particular ions across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient for the permeant ions drives the passive ion flux.

When a chemical ligand, such as a neurotransmitter, attaches to the protein, ligand-gated ion channels open. Changes in membrane potential cause voltage channels to open and close. When a receptor physically deforms, as in the case of pressure and touch receptors, mechanically-gated channels open.

A house is maintained at 1 atm and 24°C, and warm air inside a house is forced to leave the house at a rate of 90 m3/h as a resu
lisov135 [29]

Hope it helps : )

Specific heat of air at constant pressure = 1.005KJ/kg-K Apparently the hot air leaves the house while equal quantity of the cool air passes inside (Neglecting the small specific volume changes between the hot and the cold air) So the situation can be sampled as a scenario where there is continuous draw down of the thermal energy from the air.
