As with light, so with sound. Well, not always, but there are a few parallels, and one of those parallels is speed. The material (or medium) that sound passes through affects its speed. How so?For a benchmark, let's use the speed of sound in air at the beach in Malibu on sunny, 70-degree day -- 1,125 feet/sec (666 mph), also known as Mach 1.
How will the speed of a given sound change (FASTER, SLOWER, NO CHANGE) in the following scenarios:
...on top of Mount Everest?
...submerged in a pool?
...through a wall?
...in Florida (same air temperature, at sea leavel, much more humid)?
...in space?
On the top of Mount Everest - the sound is faster because of the air pressure higher up making the frequency higher and more compressed.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool - the sound is transmitter
slower because of the density of the water.
Through a wall - the sound is slower because the waves are muffled by the mass of the wall not allowing the sound to completely transmit through.
In Florida - the sound has no change
In space there is no medium so the sound does not transmit.
Of the choices above, Mount Everest would transmit the sound waves the fastest because of the pressurized air and when higher up on the mountain there is more of an echo allowing the sound to transmit faster.
On top of Mount Everest- The sound, would become faster, because when you go higher up, the air becomes more compressed, making sound travel faster.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool- The sound would become slower. Under water is very dense, making it so that sound travels slower.
Through a wall- The sound becomes slower. If someone talks, or there is a noise through a wall, the sound would be slower because there is something blocking the noise, but the person on the other side of the wall is still able to hear something, but not exactly pinpoint what it is. Therefore, it is slower.
In Florida- The sound, has no change. The way we sound here, in California we would sound in Florida. The only thing that changes is that Florida is a humid state.
In space- In space, because there isn't a medium, there isn't a way for sound to be transmitted.
I think that Mount Everest, would be the one to transmit sound waves the fastest, because the higher up you go, the higher compressed air becomes. Also, because noise is easily echoed.
On top of Mount Everest: Since there is less air pressure on the top of Mount Everest, the sound's speed would decrease because of a lesser density.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound's speed would increase because since water is more dense, the molecules in water are more tightly packed.
Through a wall: The sound's speed would become slower because the wall would destructively interfere with the sound.
In Florida: Because humid air is more dense than regular air, the sound's speed would increase because of the tightly packed molecules.
In Space: Because space has no medium, you would not hear any sound.
I think that the sound's speed would be the greatest underwater because the molecules are tightly packed together, which allows for an easy flow of sound.
On Top of Mount Everest: Due to a decrease in air pressure as one climbs mount everest, the speed of sound would decrease because of a lower density.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The speed sounds, under a pool, would increase because of the increase in pressure. The density of the molecules is much greater.
In Florida: The way we here sound must be the same in Florida as in CA. However, humidity might have an effect on the way sound travels. It allows the sounds speed to slightly increase because of its density.
In Space: As we stated in class, in space, because of a lack of medium, it is impossible to hear any sound.
The sound waves must travel the fastest while submerged in the pool. The increase in pressure under the water, causes a major increase in the sound waves and allows for a easy flow of sound.
Mount Everest- because there is more pressure in higher altitudes, sound would travel faster. The greater pressure would cause the frequency to become more compressed.
ReplyDeleteIn a Pool- water is dense, and therefore inhibits the speed of sounds.
Through a Wall- a large mass such as a wall would muffle the sound waves and cause them to travel slower.
In Florida- humidity is higher water content in the air; therefore, just as the dense water inhibited sound in pool, a humid environment would inhibit sound as well.
In space- sound cannot be transmitted in space
Sound would travel fastest on Mount Everest because the less dense are and increased air pressure influence sound to move faster and more efficiently.
Mount Everest: The atmosphere causes the air pressure to increase, causing the sound waves to travel faster because the frequency compressed.
ReplyDeleteIn a Pool: The sound waves would increase because the pool is a lot more dense than normal air.
Through a Wall: Before the sound waves come to the wall, the waves would go at a normal speed; however, when the sound waves meet the wall and pass through it, the waves will slow down because the material in walls do do not compress like air.
Florida: The sound waves in Florida is not as fast as the sound waves in LA because it is a lot more humid in Florida than in Los Angeles. Humidity means there is water in the air; the greater the humidity percentage the greater amount of water in the air. Therefore causing the waves to become slower.
Space: You will not hear any sound because there is no air so the waves will travel so fast that you will not be able to hear the other person.
Fastest: Mount Everest because there is so little air to compress so the frequency is is much quicker.
Mount Everest: higher altitude=more pressure=sound traveling faster. The frequency is higher because the high pressure causes it to become more compressed.
ReplyDeletePool: Sound travels slower and it becomes more difficult to hear b/c of the density of the water.
Wall: Since a wall is physical object, it impedes and obstructs the speed of sound. The more dense the wall, the harder it becomes to hear someone through it.
Florida: I would assume for the speed of sound to be along the the lines of the sound in Malibu, if not equal. Basically the same temperature?
Space: Sound travels through a medium (air), which space does not have.
All in all, Mt. Everest would be the ideal place for sound to travel. Sound would travel faster in Mt. Everest than any other places mentioned in the list due to increased air pressure and low density of the atmosphere (?)
On the top of Mt. Everest: There is less air pressure present on the top of the mountain, causing the speed of sound to decrease due to lower density.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound waves would increase because of the pool's density. In a pool there is a lot more density than air.
Through a wall: The waves would go at a regular/normal speed before the sound waves came towards the wall. When the waves came in contact with the wall or went through it, they would slow down because the wall is more dense...causing a muffled noise.
In Florida: Since there is more humidity than there is in LA, there is higher water present in the air. This causes the waves to become slower/travel slower.
Space: You wouldn't be able to hear any sound because there is zero air.
Sound waves would travel fastest on Mt. Everest because the air is far less dense which increases air pressure...allowing sound to move faster and more efficiently.
On top of Mt. Everest: The speed of sound will increase because there is more pressure at the higher elevation in the mountain.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The speed of sound will decrease because of the increased pressure at the bottom of the pool.
Through a wall: Sound speed will decrease through a wall because the medium of the air is disturbed and interrupted by the mass of the wall.
Florida: Speed of sound will decrease in Florida due to the humid air. The air is more dense and thus cannot transport the sound at a fast rate. The humidy obstructs the moving of sound.
Space: There is no sound in space. Sound needs a medium through which to travel, air, which space does not have.

ReplyDeleteMt. Everest: The sound will travel faster because there is only pure air with no barrier to muffle the sound.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound will travel slower because the water is acting as a barrier. Also, there is less room for sound to escape because the water makes for no passages for the sound to move through.
Through a wall: Similar to the scenario if being submerged in a pool, the sound would also travel slower due to the density of the wall and the wall acting as a barrier between you and the sound.
In Florida: the sound stays the same as it is in Malibu.
In Space: there is no sound in space because there is no air and sound travels through air molecules.
Sound waves would travel the fastest on Mount Everest because as stated above, there is only the purest of air on the mountain compared to the other options. The air is the least dense also, making for more passages for sound waves to travel through, thus, making it much easier for sound waves to travel.
On Mount Everest sound would travel fastest out of the three options because there is a lot less air density the higher you go from sea level. Less air density means less particles to interfere with the sound waves that are traveling through the sky, and a faster progression of these waves.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool, the sound would travel slower than when surrounded by air, because the water is more dense than the air, and therefore the sound takes a lot longer to travel through it.
Transmitting sound through a wall takes the longest out of all of the options because the wall is a solid, and is the most dense of the three states of matter. The sound would be obstructed by the closely packed molecules of a solid wall.
In a more humid environment, sound waves would still take longer to travel because humidity is based on the amount of water vapor particles in the air around you. The sound would be partially obstructed by these vapor particles.
Finally, in space, sound would not be able to travel at all because there is no matter in the vacuum of space.
On Mount Everest the sound would travel faster because as altitude increases there is less air density and therefore less air pressure, so the sound waves can travel faster since there's less interference.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool sound waves would travel slower as there is much more mass for them to move through and much more pressure which means that it takes longer for the waves to travel.
It would take longer for sound to go through a wall because it's extremely dense and therefore the waves would have much more interference and would go through very slowly.
In a humid environment sound waves would take longer because humidity means water in the air, which means that it's more dense than regular air. This makes it harder for the sound waves to travel through and so they travel slower.
In space, sound doesn't travel at all because there's nothing there for the sound to travel through; sound needs a medium to pass through.
Sound waves would travel fastest at the top of Mount Everest because the air is the least dense allowing the waves to move through more quickly and more efficiently.
Top of Mount Everest---Frequency increases due to an increase in air pressure as the altitude is higher, making sound waves travel faster.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool---The greater density allows for an increase in pressure, therefore causing the sound waves to speed up.
Through a wall---The sound waves would most definitely travel slower as the wall would act as a barrier that would interfere with the waves.
Florida: The sound waves in Florida would be slower than those in LA because the air is more dense due to the high level of humidity in the air (we barely have any!).
Space---Space does not have a medium for sound to travel through, hence there is no sound in space.
Finally, the high air pressure and low density of Mt. Everest makes it the ideal location for sound waves.
Mount Everest- The speed of the given sound will increase on Mount Everest because the higher in altitude you climb, the less dense the air is; therfore, there is less air pressure allowing the sound waves to move faster due to less interference.
ReplyDeleteIn a Pool- The speed of the given sound will decrease in a pool. The increase in mass the pool water has creates more pressure making it more diffucult for the waves to travel through.
Through a Wall- The speed of the given sound will decrease when trying to go through a wall. The wall presents the sound waves with a very dense barrier, causing the waves to experience much more interference and end up slowing them down noticeably.
Florida- The speed of the given sound will decrease in the humid climate Florida presents. The humidity air is more dense than the Malibu air used in the example, therfore the denser Florida air will slow the waves down.
Space- The sound waves are unable to move through space because there is no medium present in space, therfore, the waves have nothing to move through.
Sound waves would travel the fastest on top of Mt. Everest because the air is the least dense of the choices. The less dense air allows the waves to move through the air more quickly tha any other option.
Mount Everest- Sound would travel faster because of the high air pressure and low density. Sound Waves are more compressed so a higher frequency.
ReplyDeletePool- The density is greater which cause higher pressure, so the sound compresses more and speeds up in the pool.
Through a wall- The sound is being blockaded by the wall, so the person on the other side won't be able to hear the exact pitch and compression wave as you omit.
Florida- Relatively the same as LA, because the same altitude, the same density, the same pressure. Only difference that I can think of is the humidity.
Space- Space has no air or atmosphere ore pressure, so compression waves cannot travel. So, no sound in space.
Mount Everest, because the high altitude, high pressure, and low density allows the sound to travel quickly without the interference of water or anything
Mt. Everest- The high air pressure would cause sound to travel quicker along with the lower density.
ReplyDeletePool- In a pool the sound waves would also speed up because of the large increase in pressure.
Through a wall- The wall is a solid mass and will therefore greatly slow down the speed at which the sound waves travel.
Florida- The sound waves would go slightly faster because of the humidity in the air which would apply a small amount of pressure.
Space- ...There's no sound in space
The sound waves would probably travel the fastest on Mt. Everest because of the enormously high air pressure and low density surrounding the mountain.
On top of Mount Everest: The sound will be slower on the top of Mt Everest because at higher altitudes, there is less air pressure. As you climb higher and higher, the air becomes less dense, so the sound waves are able to move even faster, with not as much interference in the air.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: Under water, sound will increase because the water is more dense, and its molecules are closer together. There is more pressure so sound travels faster.
Through a wall: The sound waves would travel much slower, because the wall acts as a very dense barrier, and sound can not make it through the wall very fast with this interference.
In Florida: Because Florida has much more humidity, sound will decrease. The humid air is much more dense, and creates a much stronger interference for sound to pass, as its molecules are much closer together and tightly packed.
In Space: There will be no sound in space because it has no medium, or air, which is necessary for sound to travel.
Sound will travel the fastest under water. Because the density under water increases, and its molecules are much closer together, there is more pressure. With more pressure, sound can travel much faster.

ReplyDeleteOn top of Mount Everest- Sound will travel fast because there is little to no density affecting sound waves other than air pressure. Even with air pressure this sound will still travel very fast.
ReplyDeletePool- Sound travels slower because water, which is a liquid, is denser than air, which is a gas. Because there is more matter for sound to travel through, it moves slower.
Through a Wall- Sound will travel even slower than the pool scenario when it hits the wall because the wall is a solid and sound takes much longer to travel through a solid than air due to its amount of matter.
In Florida- The sound would travel barely slower than it does here because all the conditions are the same except for the air humidity which adds a little more density for sound waves to travel through in the air.
In Space- Sound can't travel through a space because there is no medium.
Sound will travel the fastest on Mount Everest. Because the air higher above sea level is less dense, at the top of mount everest there would be very little density in the air. This allows sound to travel through the air without much interference from other matter.
On the top of Mount. Everest, sound will move faster because the air higher in atmosphere has less oxygen so it is thinner and as a result carries sound vibrations faster.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool, sound will move slower because sound vibrations have to move through a solid but because water is not compressible it can carry some air with in it moving the vibrations with ease but much slower then just simply on dry land.
Through a wall it is slower as well because the wall is a solid so its molecules are like closely together as a result causing things that move through such as sound to be slowed down and muffed making sound even less hearable as well.
In Florida sound would move slower because although it is the same weather and temperature, the humidity adds moisture through the air and another obstacle for the vibrations of the sound waves to move through causing it to slow down.
In space you wouldn't be able to hear anything because there is no air to carry the sound waves.
Hearing something from the top of Mount Everest would make sound waves travel the fastest because again since there are less particles in higher air, it is easier for things such as sound vibrations to move through them and bring sound to a faster speed.
On top of Mount Everest: Since there is less pressure at the top of Mount Everest, the sound travels slower than in Malibu because the sound waves are not closely together.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound will travel faster here, because there is more pressure. The sound waves are vibrating very closely to one another.
Through a wall: The sound will travel slower because it has to get through the density of a wall until you can hear it from the other side of the wall.
In Florida: No change.
In space: Sound does not travel due to the lack of a medium for it to travel through.
Submerged in a pool would transmit sound the fastest because there is the most water pressure underwater and the sound waves have more mediums to go through and are able to vibrate (produce sound) closely to each other.
On top of Mount Everest, the sound will travel faster because the higher up you go, the air becomes less dense, letting sound travel through air more quickly.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: It moves slower because with water being more dense, it is harder for sound to move as quickly.
Through a wall: Since the wall is so dense, sound will travel much slower since it is hard to travel through the thick density.
In Florida, the sound's speed would increase because humid air is more dense so the tightly packed molecules would create more pressure.
In space: With having no medium, there would be no sound.
Mount Everest since it has such low density in air, sound is able to travel the fastest.
On the top of Mount Everest - the sound will travel slower because of the greater pressure due to the altitude.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool - Slower because the sound has to go through a denser material.
Through a wall - the sound will travel slower because the is a dense object blocking the sound waves, so the sound waves have to go through more mass to reach the other room.
In Florida - it depends on the weather, but on an identical day the sound would stay the same.
In space- there is no air so the sound does not transmit and there would just be silence.
On the top of mount everest it will be FASTER because the sound has less mass in the medium slowig it down.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool it is the exact opposite because it has more dense medium (Slower)
Through a wall it will go SLOWER for the same reason as in the pool
In florida it will go slightly slower because there is more dense meium there (becasue of the humidity)
In space it will travel as fast as it can, but will make no sound because there is no medium to compress
It will travel the fastest on Everest because the medium is less dense, so the sound is slowed down less by the mass of the medium.
On the top of mount everest the sound with be slower because the air mass all the way on mount everest is much less dense and therefore much further.
ReplyDeleteIn the pool the waves will be much faster because of how closely knit the waves are in the density of the water which makes the sound waves energy very easily transferrable. In space there will be virtually no sound at all because the medium is nothing and there is barely any density for the sound and energy to travel through.
On top of Mt. Everest the sound would travel slowly. This is because sound needs something to travel through so on top of Mt Everest sound is slower because there is less stuff for sound to travel through.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool sound would travel very fast. This is because there is a lot of stuff (medium) for sound to travel through when submerged under water.
Sound would travel slower through a wall because the mass of the wall would slow it down.
Sound would travel at the same rate here than it would in Florida.
Lastly, there would be no sound in space because there is no medium for the sound to travel through.
On top of Mount Everest: The sound will travel more slowly because at higher altitudes, there is less air pressure. As you climb higher, the air becomes less dense, therefore the sound waves are able to move faster.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: Submerged in a pool the sound will increase because the water has a higher density, and its molecules are closer together. There is more pressure which causes the sound travels faster.
Through a wall: The sound waves would travel much slower, because the wall acts as a dense barrier, and sound can not make it through the wall very fast because of this dense barrior.
In Florida: Florida is much more humid and therefore sound will decrease. The humid air has a higher density which creates a much stronger barrier for sound to pass, as its molecules are closer together and tightly packed.
In Space: There will be no sound in space because it has no medium, or air, which is necessary for sound to travel.
Sound will travel the fastest under water, because the density under water increases, and its molecules are much closer together, there is more pressure. With more pressure, sound can travel much faster.
On top of mount everest: The sound would travel slower because sound needs something to travel through. On the top of mount everest there would be nothing for the sound to travel through which sound needs.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound would travel faster because there is substance or the sound to travel through
Through a wall: the sound would travel even faster because there are more molecules for the sound to travel through
In Florida: The sound would travel slower than it would through a wall. Florida is humid which means there are molecules for the sound to travel through. So it would travel kind of fast but slower than it would through a wall
In Space- Sound would not travel in space because there is no medium for it to travel through
Sound would travel fastest through a wall because there are the most molecules. Also it is the densest. This is the medium in which the energy would travel the fastest.
On top of Mount Everest: sound would travel slower because there is nothing there that the sound can travel through. Sound needs a medium.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: sound would travel faster because it is very dense and sound can travel faster in an array of tightly molecules as compared to the loose molecules on top of Mount Everest.
Through a wall: sound would travel faster because it is dense and sound has a meduim to pass through (the wall) because of the density
In Florida: sound would travel slower because even though the air molecules are more tightly packed (because of humidity) there is still not enough to be able to have a medium for the sound waves to pass through.
In Space: there would be no sound in space because there is no air
Sound would travle fastest sumerged under water because it is the most dense out of all and sounds can travel faster with more tightly packed molecules.
:)
On Top of Mount Everest: Because there would be less air pressure, the speed of the sound would decrease due to a lower density.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a Pool: Because water has more density than air, the sound of speed would increase.
Through a Wall: Because a solid, in this case the wall, is the denser than both air and water, the high density of the wall would cause the speed of sound to increase.
In Florida: Because Florida has humid air, the humid is denser than regular, non-humid air, and so the speed of sound would increase.
In Space: There would be no sound traveling through space because there is no medium for the sound to go through.
Sound will travel the fastest through a wall because a wall, which is a solid, has the highest density of them all.
On top of Mount Everest: The air pressure on top of Mount Everest is less, which would cause the speed of sound to decrease because of a smaller density. Also, there are less things that the sound could travel through.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: In water the speed of sound would increase because the molecules inside of the pool are more compact, which allows sound to travel through more things. Also, the molecules in a liquid are not extremely compacted as a solid, so there is still room for sound.
Through a wall: Since a wall is a solid object, its molecules are extremely compacted, which would interfere with the sound and result in slowing it down.
In Florida: Since humid air has more tightly compacted molecules than regular air, the speed of sound would be faster than at Malibu due to the increase in molecules.
In Space: There would be no sound in space because there is no medium for it to travel through.
I think that the speed of sound is the fastest underwater because the molecules are the most compacted together without being a complete solid (wall), which allows sound to pass through it without it being interfered with.
On top of Mount Everest, the sound would be slower because the energy has a medium of lesser density to go through. In this case, the air is thinner and has less density.
ReplyDeleteThe sound would travel faster submerged in a pool because there is more density for the energy of the sound to transfer through under water.
The same explanation applies through a wall because the density is greater so the sound can transfer through faster.
In Florida, the humidity would add more density for the energy to transfer through so the sound would travel faster.
In space, there is no medium for the sound energy to transfer through. Thus, it would travel slower.
On top of Mount Everest: the sound will travel faster because there is less air pressure and a lower density.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: the sound speed would be slower because of the great density and pressure
through a wall: the sound waves would be slower because they are muffled by the solid mass of the wall, so not all of the sound would be transferred through
In Florida: the sound would be the same - no change
In Space: because space has no medium, you can't hear anything
Sound would definitely travel fastest on Mount Everest because it's increase in air pressure and less density allows the waves to move quicker and smoother.
On top of Mount Everest: The sound will travel more slowly because the less dense air means the sound cannot travel as quickly through it.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool: The sound will travel more quickly because the greater density of the water means that the sound can move from particle to particle with more ease.
Through a wall: The sound would move more quickly because the density of the wall lets the sound move from particle to particle more quickly.
In Florida: The sound will move more quickly - the humid and dense air means that particles are closer together so sound can move more quickly.
In space: Sound has no medium to move through, so it is impossible to hear anything.
Sound will travel the fastest through the wall because it is the densest material.
- Ben
On top of Mt. everest, the sound will travel more slowly because the air is less dense and the air pressure is much greater.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool, the sound will travel more quickly to the the greater density of the water due to the more compact molecules.
Similarly to the pool, the sound will travel faster through the wall because of the wall's density and the fact that its molecules and more compact, making it easier for the sound to travel through.
In Florida, the sound will move more quickly due to the humidity (meaning greater density) in the air.
In space, there is no sound because space has no medium.
Sound travels fastest though the wall because it is the most dense object listed, therefore its molecules are the most compact, meaning sound travels through it the quickest.
At the top of mt. Everest sound would travel slower because there are less particals for the sound waves to bounce off of.
ReplyDeleteIn a pool there is more matter for the around waves to bounce off of, making the waves travel faster.
In Florida, which is more humid, making means there is more matter in the air making the sound travel faster there than in an air without humidity.
Sound travels faster through a wall because that has the most matter
In space sound doesn't travel because there is no matter for the waves to bounce off of.
...on top of Mount Everest the sound would travel slower
ReplyDelete...submerged in a pool the sound would trave faster
...through a wall the sound would travel faster. As you demonstrated in class if someone hit the board you would hear it through the ear on the wall faster than your other ear would hear it.
...in Florida the sound would travel faster due to the difference in air
...in space there is no change
on top of Mount Everest?: It would be much slower because there is a less amount of air up there.
ReplyDeletesubmerged in a pool?: The sound would be amplified in the water because the water the sound is coming from is a lot more dense than air.
through a wall?: It will take longer to travel through the solid wall and the sound wont be amplified as much as well.
in Florida (same air temperature, at sea leavel, much more humid)?: It would be slower because the humidity that exists in the air makes it more difficult for sound to travel at the same speed as somewhere like california.
in space?: does not exist in space because there is no happy medium.
Mount Everest: The sound waves would travel slower because of the lack of air at such a high altitude.
ReplyDeletePool: The sound waves would travel faster because the molecules are closer together; therefore, the pool is more dense than air (which allows faster wave travel).
Wall: The sound waves would increase in speed through a wall. Unfortunately, the sound would be muffled because of absorption but the waves would travel through the wall faster than through air.
Florida: It would travel faster because when gas is less dense, the speed increases
Space: Sound waves would not travel because there is nothing to act as a medium to travel through.
The sound would travel faster on Mount Everest because the air is less dense which causes sound waves to have an easier time traveling.
ReplyDeleteSound would travel slower in a pool because water has a higher density than air.
A wall would block sound waves which would slow down the speed.
The sound waves would travel at the same speed in Florida.
Sound does not exist in space because there is no medium.
On the top of Mount Everest, the sound would travel slower because there is a much lower temperature.
ReplyDeleteSubmerged in a pool, the sound would travel faster because sounds travel faster in liquids (sonar).
Through a wall, it would depend on what the wall is made out of. If it is a solid metal wall, the sound would travel much faster.
In Florida, the sound would travel at around the same speed, maybe a slightly faster due to the humidity.
In space there is no medium because it is a vacuum, so sound would not travel.
