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.
What else can I help you with?
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 ......
How is the speed of sound measured?
The speed of sound is measured by timing how long it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance. By dividing the distance by the time taken, the speed of sound can be calculated.
Is sound measured in speed frequency amplitude or pitch?
All of those are properties of sound, and may be measured.
How are you going to determine the value of speed of sound?
The speed of sound can be determined using the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. Frequency can be measured using a sound wave device like a microphone, while wavelength can be measured by calculating the distance between two sound wave peaks. This method allows for the accurate determination of the speed of sound in a specific medium.
How fast is the speed of sound in knots?
The speed of sound measured at sea level is 661.47 knots.
Why is speed of light and sound measured?
The speed of light and sound are measured to understand their behavior and properties, as well as to develop technologies based on their principles. Measuring the speed of light led to the development of theories in physics, while measuring the speed of sound helps in various applications like designing communication systems and studying fluid dynamics.
When was the speed of light measured?
The speed of light was first measured in 1676 by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer using observations of the moons of Jupiter. Rømer's work provided the first quantitative estimate of the speed of light.
Who discovered the speed of sound?
The speed of sound was first accurately measured by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. He determined that sound travels at around 343 meters per second in dry air at room temperature.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.
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)
The unit which sound is measured?
The unit for measuring the volume of sound is the decibel.
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency refers to the number of vibrations per second and is measured in hertz (Hz), while speed refers to how fast sound waves travel through a medium and is typically measured in meters per second (m/s). Essentially, frequency is a characteristic of the sound wave itself, while speed is a property of the medium through which the sound wave is traveling.
