The speed of sound has nothing to do with the sea level. It has much to do with the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.

How do the velocities of a sound wave and electromagnetic wave compare to each other?
In air at sea level, the speed of electromagnetic waves isroughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.
How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
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 the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
What is the speed of the wave called?
There is no special name for the speed of sound at sea level, because the sea level and every other air pressure high up in the mountain has nothing to do with the speed of sound. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".There is no special name for it.By the way, the speed of sound has nothing to do with the sea level.The speed of sound has much to do with the temperature.At 20° Celsius the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
The speed of a sound wave depends on properties of the medium occurs when a sound wave moves from one medium into another in which its speed is different?

What speed do waves move at?
it deepens if it is a wave in the ocean or a sound wave
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
What makes sound speed?
Sound is propagated as a mechanical wave. As with all waves it travels and so has a speed.
What is the freqency of a wavelength 560m?
That depends on the speed of the wave, and you haven't told us enough about it for us to take a guess at what kind of a wave it is, or what its speed is. -- If it's a sound wave in air at sea level, then the frequency is around 0.61 Hz. -- If it's a radio wave in vacuum, then the frequency is 535,344 Hz.
How does the speed of a light or sound wave be changed?
