A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?

Would you expect the motions of particles in all state of matter to increase or decrease as ths temperature increase?
The general tendency is for the average speed of particles to increase as temperature increases.But please note that temperature can't be DEFINED simply as the average speed; it is more closely related to the average ENERGY per particle. And the energy for each particle depends on the SQUARE of the speed; but it also depends on the mass of the particle.
How do you show that matter has particulate nature?
All of physics and chemistry, endless quantities of research and inventions and studies and procedures, have confirmed that matter is indeed made of particles. Aside from the indirect evidence, atoms have actually been photographed (and they look like little spheres, just as we would expect). Nuclear physics is particularly illuminating on this topic, and the pathways of sub-atomic particles can be seen in cloud chambers and bubble chambers. Particle accelerators are used to learn more about what particles do and what kind of particles there are. Even the existence of the elusive Higgs boson has recently been confirmed.
Would you expect an amoeba that lives in a cold pond during the winter to have higher or lower percentage of saturated fatty acids in its membrane during the summer compared to winter?
I will expect it to have lower percentage of saturated fatty acids since in summer the ponds become warmer than in winter,therefore the fatty acids will behave under the condition of a warm room termperature were they do not become closely packed( not rigit).
Is grey water organic or inorganic?
Grey water, and I assume you mean non-sewerage waste water, will contain inorganic and organic compounds. Its composition will vary depending on what is being processed. typically expect salts and suspened food particles.
Who shot gold with radiation to show atoms are mostly empty space?
The experiment you're asking about was performed by Ernest Rutherford, and it's one of the most important experiments in our quest to understand the nature of atoms. We call this experiment the gold foil experiment. What Rutherford did was shoot alpha particles, which are just charged helium atoms, at thin gold foil. Most of the alpha particles passed right through the gold foil. Some of the particles would deflect by a small angle. Occasionally, though, some of the particles would shoot back at the alpha emitter or off at a sharp angle. Before this experiment one of the more popular atomic models was the "plum pudding" model. This model said that protons and electrons filled up all the space of the atom equally. We know now, and because of this experiment, that protons are located at the very center of an atom and they take up very little space. If the plum pudding model were correct you would expect the particles to all act the same; either all of them would be reflected in the same direction or all of them would pass through. But, if the protons were all tightly packed in the center you would expect most of the alpha particles to pass straight through the gold foil because they are just passing through empty space. Occasionally one might get close and be deflected a little bit. Even more rarely you would expect to see some of the alpha particles shoot right back at you. These are exactly the results you see from the gold foil experiment and they show us that atoms are mostly empty space.

What to expect during LPN clinicals?
LPN clinicals are the hands-on training required to become an LPN. You can expect to work closely with medical staff to provide care to patients.

How do Oydsseus and his companions expect to be treated by the cyclops?
Odysseus and his men expect to be treated as a guest by the cyclops, although they originally thought the island the Cyclops lived on was inhabited by humans, until they found out differently.
How is glue made?
The word 'glue' covers a huge number of products. Many are differently made. -Please be more specific if you expect a definitive answer,
When a soap bubble is charged its size increases or decrease.why?
I would expect the size to increase, because of the repulsive forces between the individual charged particles. I would also expect the effect to be insignificant in most practical cases.
What size particles would one expect to find in a sedimentary rock that formed from sediments deposited in the middle of a lake?
little wet ones
Tips for the first time parent?
"What to expect in the first year" and similar titled books are very good references, but are not always right children all grow and learn differently
Why would you expect a 1.5 m CaCl2 solution to have a lower freezing point than a 1.5 m NaCl solution?
CaCl2 has more particles when dissolved
What should I expect when dating a man over 40 who has never been married or doesn't have any children?
It depends on how old you are. He might do things differently than you do. So you better watch out.
