No, the speed of sound (at sea level) is only about 0.213 mile per second.
No 340 m per sec
Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
At sea level, sound does roughly 0.21 mile per second. (4.7 seconds for 1 whole mile)
Thunder is sound- it travels at the speed of sound- about 1100 feet per second. Lightning is light- it travels at the speed of light- about 186,000 miles a second. The light is faster, gets there first.
the speed of sound is 1100 feet per second
No 340 m per sec
The speed of sound at sea level is about 0.211 miles per second.
No, the speed of light is 186,282.4 miles per second. The speed of sound at sea level is about 0.2114 miles per second.
No, the speed of sound at sea level is around 0.2114 miles per second.
If you try to measure it its still the speed of light : 186,000 miles per second PLUS about 0.2 miles per second.
Light is much faster then the speed of sound. Sound travels at a speed of about 768 Miles per hour, when light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per SECOND.
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 miles per second.
At 20o Celsius, at sea level, the speed of sound is approximately 767 miles per hour.
About 0.213 in air at standard temperature and pressure.
Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
Speed of light in vacuum is a constant which is denoted by c and is 1,86,000 miles/sec or 299,792,458 meters/second. In dry air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
Mach one is the speed of sound, which is about 761.2 miles per hour (340.3 meters per second). Mach two is twice the speed of sound, which is about 1,522.4 miles per hour (680.6 meters per second).
