Currently going through some concepts in TBR Physics.
There was an example about a sound wave going through 2 Pipes, Pipe A and Pipe B. In trials, it showed that Pipe A had larger frequencies in subsequent harmonics (1,2,3). The answer said it was because of the increasing temperature in Pipe A as opposed to Pipe B. Increased temperature causes gases to move faster, thus, moving the sound wave through Pipe A quicker; which amounts to why there is higher frequency readings.
My question is, doesn't increase in temperature cause gases to have higher viscosity? Higher viscosity amounting to slower movement of waves such as sound waves?
Not sure If I am incorrectly integrating those two concepts together. Would like some feedback. Thanks
