How do the speed of light and the speed of sound compare through air?
The speed of light is significantly faster than the speed of sound in air. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second while the speed of sound in air is about 343 meters per second. This means that light travels almost a million times faster than sound through air.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
What is the speed of sound through foam?
The speed of sound through foam can vary depending on the density and composition of the foam. On average, the speed of sound through foam is around 100-200 meters per second, which is slower than the speed of sound in air.
Which is true about speed of sound in air?
Well speed of sound in air at room temperature is 350 m/s . It depends on the density of the medium. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium.
What is the speed of sound in air at the particular temperature?
You can calculate the speed of sound through air based on air temperature with the following equation: speed in meters per second = 331.5 + (temp in celcius*0.60)

How fast does sound travecl through air?
The speed of sound through dry air is 767 miles per hour.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same
How fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
Why does the speed of sound depend on air tempersture?
The speed of sound through a medium depends on the density of the medium and the density of air is affected by temperature.
What is the speed of sound traveling through the air at room temperature?
In dry air, at 20°C, the speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
What is faster sound or electricity?
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
What is the speed of sound through foam?
The speed of sound through foam can vary depending on the density and composition of the foam. On average, the speed of sound through foam is around 100-200 meters per second, which is slower than the speed of sound in air.
What is mach2?
Mach 1 is the relative speed of sound through air. Relative because the speed of sound varies with air density. At sea level the speed of sound is about 740 miles per hour. Mach 2 is then twice the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound the same in air as it is in outer space?
There is no sound in space. Sound is a wave of energy passing through matter that we can hear, and in space, there is no matter for the sound to pass through, or at least the gasses that are there aren't close enough together.
