Yes, they do. The frequency of a sound doesn't effect the speed at which it moves; i.e. approx 330meters per second (through air). For example; a sound with a frequency of 600Hz has the same velocity as a sound with frequency 300Hz, the difference being that the sound at 300Hz would have half as many wavelengths in the same distance from source as the sound at 600Hz.

No, sound travels at different velocities depending on the medium it is traveling through. In general, sound travels faster through solids than through liquids, and faster through liquids than through gases. Additionally, within a specific medium, the speed of sound is dependent on factors such as temperature, pressure, and density.

Which physical quantity remain unchanged when light and sound passes through medium?
Its FREQUENCY remains the same. Remember that when sound waves travel from air to water, its frequency remains the same, which is why people do not seem to have higher or lower voices under water. However the amplitude and velocity do change if it is a sound wave.
When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?
When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.
Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?
No, the speed of sound in a medium like air is determined by the temperature of the air, not the frequency of the sound. In general, sound travels faster in warm air than in cool air because the molecules in warm air move faster and can transmit sound waves more quickly.
Are the speed of ultrasonic and audible sound wave same?
No, the speed of ultrasonic sound waves is higher than that of audible sound waves. Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above the range of human hearing (above 20 kHz), while audible waves have frequencies within the range of human hearing (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
If Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies they must also have different?
wavelengths. Sound waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, while sound waves with lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. This relationship is governed by the equation: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency.
Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?
No. The frequencies determine the sound.
Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?
No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.

Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?
no
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?
No, the speed of sound in a medium like air is determined by the temperature of the air, not the frequency of the sound. In general, sound travels faster in warm air than in cool air because the molecules in warm air move faster and can transmit sound waves more quickly.
Can the speed of a body change if its velocity is changed?
Simly stated, velocity is speed in a defined direction. If you travel 5mph north, the speed is the same as if you travel 5mph east, but the velocity is different.
A car is traveling at a velocity of 70 km hr west to have the same velocity another car would have to travel at?
Another car would have to travel at 70 km/hr west.To have the same velocity, it must have the same speed toward the same direction.
Do sound waves travel the same?
no
Are the speed of ultrasonic and audible sound wave same?
No, the speed of ultrasonic sound waves is higher than that of audible sound waves. Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above the range of human hearing (above 20 kHz), while audible waves have frequencies within the range of human hearing (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
Which travels faster a sound wave of 150 Hz or a sound wave of 700 Hz?
The speed is almost the same, for different frequencies.
