- Speed of sound - Wikipedia
In colloquial speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air The speed of sound varies from substance to substance, however: typically, sound travels most slowly in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids
- Speed of sound | Description Examples | Britannica
speed of sound, speed at which sound waves propagate through different materials In particular, for dry air at a temperature of 0 °C (32 °F), the modern value for the speed of sound is 331 29 metres (1,086 9 feet) per second
- Speed of Sound - Physics Book
The speed of sound, or c, is usually determined by the Newton-Laplace Equation, shown below This equation shows the relationship between the stiffness of an object and it's density
- Physics Tutorial: The Speed of Sound
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids; sound travels slowest in gases such as air The speed of sound can be calculated as the distance-per-time ratio or as the product of frequency and wavelength
- Speed of Sound in Physics - Science Notes and Projects
Learn about the speed of sound in physics for solids, liquids, and gases Get the values in different units and see how to use the formulas
- 1. 4: Sound Speed - Physics LibreTexts
This page explains the speed of sound, which varies by medium and is primarily influenced by temperature, with specific formulas for gases and considerations for solids and fluids
- Speed of Sound
The speed of sound, therefore, relates to the speed at which the pressure wave travels as each particle hits its neighbor Because air is not particularly dense, sound travels relatively slowly as compared with water or the steel of train track rails
- Speed of sound - Oxford Reference
The speed at which sound waves are propagated through a material medium In air at 20°C sound travels at 344 m s−1, in water at 20°C it travels at 1461 m s−1, and in steel at 20°C at 5000 m s−1
