The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure). The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading in the case of "speed of sound". The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary.
Formula for speed of sound c = 331 + 0.6 × ϑ
Ï‘ = temperature in degrees celsius.
At ϑ = 20°C we get a speed of sound c = 331 + 0.6 × 20 = 343 m/s.
1 °C change of temperature is equal to 60 cm/s change of speed of sound. When calculating the speed of sound forget the atmospheric pressure, but look accurately at the very important temperature. The speed of sound varies with altitude (height or elevation) only because of the changing temperature there!
Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.The speed of sound varies widely; in air, it is about 331 meters per second (multiply by 3.6 to get km/hour), in steel it can be about 5 times as fast.
In common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance. Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius.
Mach 1 is one times the speed of sound, which equals the speed of sound, which is 768mph.
This of coarse all depends on the altitude, the humidity, and the temperature of the air. At Sea level the speed of sound is roughly 344.4 meters per second. Check out the link to find more interesting info! Near room temperature, the speed of sound in air is 344.4 m/s.
In dry air (68F) the speed of sound is 343 meters per second
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
Essentially it is the density and temperature of the air which determines the speed of sound therein.
The speed of sound through dry air is 767 miles per hour.
No. Light in vacuum is roughly 880 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.
The speed of sound in air at 20°C is 343 m/s.
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
The speed of sound measured at sea level is 661.47 knots.
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
The sound of air or water moving very fast is usually described as a "whooshing" or "rushing" noise. This sound occurs due to the turbulence created by the high-speed movement of the air or water molecules.
It depends what the sound travels through. The speed of sound in air is 340 m /s.
The speed of sound measures how fast sound waves can travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. It is influenced by factors like temperature, density, and elasticity of the medium.
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
