Does sound always travel at the same speed through one given medium?
no.air as a medium for example,d sound wave will still depend on d temperature of air nd d diretion of wind.if d sound wave is travelling in wind's direction,it is increased nd vice versa.sound wave is independent of pitch nd pressure of d medium
No sound travels differently in speed and distance through many different mediums that's how whales and dolphins communicate over miles in water
It varies with temperature and pressure Also, one given medium may be a much narrower specification than you might think. If the medium were [for example] a bar of very pure copper, it would make some difference if the copper bar had really big crystalline domains [annealed], vs really small ones [worked]. For that matter you couldn't just say the medium was carbon, you would have to specify whether it was graphite, diamond, or amorphous [glassy] carbon. It can vary with direction, if the material is anisotropic [not the same in all directions]. For instance, if I had a large chunk of graphite, all the graphene sheets stacked nicely in order, the electrical conductivity is very different along or across the graphene sheets. I would expect the speed of sound to be different, though possibly only of a trivial magnitude.
