State whether the following statement is true or false:
Sound travels faster at a higher temperature than at a lower temperature.

(TRUE) The statement is True.
Sound waves require a medium to travel. The speed of sound in a gas depends on the temperature of the medium. As the temperature increases,the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases,causing them to vibrate more rapidly and collide more frequently. This increased molecular activity allows the sound wave to propagate through the medium more quickly. Therefore,the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature of the gas.
