2.2 FACTORS AFFECTING PROPAGATION OF SOUND There are several important factors, which affect the propagation of sound: geometric spreading, atmospheric effects, and surface effects. These are discussed separately below. 2.2.1 Geometric Spreading This refers to the spreading of sound energy as a result of the expansion of the wave fronts.
The speed varies depending on atmospheric conditions; the most important factor is the temperature. Humidity has little effect on the speed of sound, nor does air pressure by itself. Air pressure has no effect at all in an ideal gas approximation. This is because pressure and density both contribute to sound velocity equally, and in an ideal gas the two effects cancel out, leaving only the effect of temperature. Sound usually travels more slowly with greater altitude, due to reduced temperature.
