What does the speed of sound measure?
sound waves
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
What is the speed of sound at NTP?
what is the speed of sound in ntp
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
What does the speed of sound measure?
sound waves
How do you measure the speed of sound in water and air?
There are a few different ways you could measure the speed of sound in water and air. You could record the amount of time it takes a sound to be heard from the source to the destination for example.
How do you measure velocity in supersonic jet?
-- Measure the distance between two points.-- Measure the time it takes the jet to fly from one point to the other one.-- The speed of the jet between the two points is(the distance between them)/(the time it takes to fly from one to the other)
What is a sonic anemometer and on what principle does it work?
A sonic anemometer uses sound to measure wind speed. It sends a sound signal from a fixed transmitter to a fixed receiver, and by measuring the time it takes for the sound to arrive, can compute the speed of sound. Wind speed will increase or decrease the speed of sound depending on whether it is a tail wind or a head wind. By measuring the speed of sound in both directions the wind speed along that axis can be calculated from the difference of the two measurements. A two axis or three axis instrument can measure total wind speed.
Why it harder to measure the the speed of light than it is to measure the speed of sund?
Roughly speaking, light moves about a million times faster than sound in air.
How do you find the square root of Speed of sound?
The speed of sound depends on the medium through which the sound waves travel - it is not a constant. So the first requirement would be to measure the speed of sound. Then simply take the square root of the numerical value and make sure the measurement units are "square-rooted" as well.
How can we measure the depth of sea by using SONAR?
Simply by measuring the time it takes for the sonar 'ping' to return to the device that sent it. The speed of sound is constant - and dividing the time by the speed of sound gives the distance !
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How fast is the speed of sound and speed of light added together?
If you try to measure it its still the speed of light : 186,000 miles per second PLUS about 0.2 miles per second.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
What is the history of the saying you can measure the distance of the storm by counting from the flash of lightning to the sound of thunder?
This is not a saying, it's a fact. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, so the further away the lightning is the longer the gap is between the light reaching you and the sound reaching you.
