HURRY PLEASE Farah is doing an experiment that involves calculating the speed of a longitudinal wave. What will most likely happ
en if she increases the temperature in the room? - I already know it is either A or B please help!
a)The amplitude of the wave will increase.
b)The speed of the wave will increase.
<u>If the temperature increases, </u><u>The speed of the wave will increase.</u>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Longitudinal waves re the waves that require a medium to travel in. They are also a form of energy. Temperature is a common factor that affects the speed of longitudinal waves. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more kinetic energy, so they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, longitudinal waves can travel more quickly hence option B is the correct answer.
