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 the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.
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.
Online calculator, figures and tables showing density, specific weight and thermal expansion coefficients of air at temperatures ranging -100 to 1600 °C (-140 to 2900 °F) at atmospheric and higher pressure - Imperial and SI Units.
Describe the effects on the speed of sound as it travels through various media. Describe the effects of temperature on the speed of sound. Sound, like all waves, travels at a certain speed and has the properties of frequency and wavelength.
the speed of sound is v sound = m/s = ft/s = mi/hr. It is interesting to compare this speed with the speed of molecules as a result of their thermal energy. For the specific example of dry air at 20°C, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, while the rms speed of air molecules is 502 m/s using a mean mass of air molecules of 29 amu.
