Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature.
Often the easy calculation will do:
Speed of sound c ≈ 331 + (0.6 × T) m/s.
T = temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
A 20°C the speed of sound c ≈ 331 + (0.6 × 20) = 343 m/s

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.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
What are wavelenghts?
wavelenght is the distance between the 2 peaks in sound waves and can be calculated by Wavelenght is = wave speed/ frequency or wave speed __________ frequency
What are the three features of a sound wave?
1) Sound wave always require material medium for their propogation. 2)Sound wave are type of transvers wave. 3)Speed of sound wave can be calculated by speed=sqrt(tension*length of wire/massof wire)
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.
What is the ratio of velocity of sound in helium to that the oxygen at the same temperature and pressure?
The speed of sound of a gas is essentially equal to its average speed calculated from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, <v> = sqrt(3kT/m). Since k is a constant and T is the same for both, <vHe>/<vO> = sqrt(mO)/sqrt(mHe) = 4/2 = 2. So, the speed of sound in helium is twice as fast as the speed of sound in oxygen.
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.
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.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
In mph what is the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies greatly, depending on the material it goes through - in some cases, by a factor of 5 or more. The speed of sound in air will depend slightly on temperature, pressure, etc., but it is about 340 meters/second. I'll leave it up to you to convert that to mph.
When was A Calculated Use of Sound created?
A Calculated Use of Sound was created on 2003-05-01.
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
