As far as i know the first person to work out the speed of sound was Isaac newton sometime in the 1600's. He worked it out from first principles. That is he worked it ot by using mathmatics and knowledge of air pressure and density. I don't know who first measured it and how.

∙ 8y agoTwo common methods are, measuring the amount of time for the sound to travel a known distance. First tried with a cannon blast. Another method is to measure the wavelength and frequency, then compute the speed with: (frequency) x (wavelength) = speed.

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)
Is the unit with which sound is measured?
A bel. Or a decibel which is an exponential measure such that 10 dB is one tenth as loud as 1 B.
Instantaneous speed is measured how?
Instantaneous speed cannot be measured because it is a theoretical construct. It is the speed that an object has at one particular moment, but measuring the speed of an object necessarily involves several moments so you can only measure the speed over some finite amount of time.
What weather condition does wind speed measure?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
The speed of sound in carbon dioxide?
Speed of sound in carbon di oxide is 259 m/s.
Who determined the speed of sound in water?
it was faucault who first measured the speed of light in water ......
Is sound measured in speed frequency amplitude or pitch?
All of those are properties of sound, and may be measured.
How fast is the speed of sound in knots?
The speed of sound measured at sea level is 661.47 knots.
What two variables are needed to calculate the speed of sound?
Distance-wavelength lambda (λ) is measured in meters (m)Time- frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz)
Who is the first American pilot to exceed the speed of sound in an airplane?
The first American pilot to exceed the speed of sound in an airplane was Chuck Yeager.
The unit which sound is measured?
The unit for measuring the volume of sound is the decibel.
Where was the speed of light first measured in the US and by whom?
Olaf Roemer
The first pilot to fly an aircraft faster then the speed of sound?
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
Wind speed is measured with a what?
Wind speed is measured with a anemometer. The first anemometer was developed in the 15th century. The year it was invented is said to be 1450, by Leon Battista Alberti.
What is wind speed measured with?
Wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
