In fluid dynamics, the speed of sound in a fluid medium (gas or liquid) is used as a relative measure for the speed of an object moving through the medium. The ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound (in the same medium) is called the object's Mach number.
Calculate the speed of sound (the sonic velocity) in gases, fluids or solids. A disturbance introduced in some point of a substance - solid or fluid - will propagate through the substance as a wave with a finite velocity.
Speed of sound in air at standard atmospheric pressure with temperatures ranging -40 to 1000 °C (-40 to 1500 °F) - Imperial and SI Units.
Determine the speed of sound in different media. Derive the equation for the speed of sound in air. Determine the speed of sound in air for a given temperature. Sound, like all waves, travels at a certain speed and has the properties of frequency and wavelength.
The speed of sound is affected by temperature in a given medium. For air at sea level, the speed of sound is given by \[v_w = (331 \, m/s)\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{273 \, K}},\] where the temperature (denoted as \(T\)) is in units of kelvin. The speed of sound in gases is related to the average speed of particles in the gas, \(v_{rms}\), and that
For temperatures near room temperature, the speed of sound in air can be calculated from this convenient approximate relationship, but the more general relationship is needed for calculations in helium or other gases.
