Q. Which one among the following doesn't have any effect on velocity of sound ?
Answer: Humidity
Notes: The speed of sound varies depending on the temperature, pressure, and density of the medium through which the sound waves travel. In most of the cases, it is density which matters. Sound travels faster through denser air (or other material). The density of air is affected by atmospheric pressure, temperature, and altitude.
