State whether the following statement is true or false: The velocity of sound in air is higher for higher frequencies than for lower frequencies.
(FALSE) The statement is False. In a non-dispersive medium like air,the speed of sound is independent of frequency. The speed of sound depends primarily on the properties of the medium,such as temperature,pressure,and density,not on the frequency or wavelength of the sound wave.
