Sound Wave Experiments

The video explores factors influencing the speed of sound, such as temperature, air pressure, and the medium through which it travels. Sound travels faster in solids and liquids due to closer particle arrangement. Temperature increases particle kinetic energy, speeding up sound in gases. Air pressure affects sound speed, with denser air at sea level allowing faster travel. The video also explains the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength, and provides an experiment to measure sound speed using a stopwatch and drum. The video concludes with a recap of key points.
