A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column labeled Elevation (meters) has entries 500, 1000, 1500, 2000. The second column labeled Temperature of air (degrees Celsius) has entries 11. 8, 8. 5, 5. 3, 2. 0. As elevation increases, temperature decreases. At which elevation will sound travel fastest? 500 meters 1,000 meters 1,500 meters 2,000 meters.

At an elevation of 500m, the sound will travel fastest.

Elevation        Temp

  500m           11.8°C

 1000m           8.5°C

 1500m           5.3°C

 2000m          2.0°C

Why do sounds travel at a faster rate at high temeratures?

We know that air molecules at higher temperatures have more energy and can vibrate faster and allow sound waves to travel more quickly because the more is the medium, the more quickly sound waves propagate.

So, when the given temperature is maximum i.e. 11.8°C, the sound will travel fastest. The elevation corresponding to 11.8°C is 500m.

So, Sound will travel fastest at 500m elevation.

Therefore, At an elevation of 500m, the sound will travel fastest.
