The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at a temperature of 20°C.
The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
Mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound are able to travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

What else can I help you with?
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What factors does the speed of sound not depend on?
The speed of sound does not depend on the amplitude of the sound wave or the frequency of the wave. It is primarily determined by the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or solids. Additionally, the speed of sound is not influenced by the direction in which the sound is traveling.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.
What does not affect the speed of sound in air?
I think you're looking for a change in medium - that is to say, the frequency of a sound wave does not change as it passes from one material to another (like when sound travels from air to water), although it does affect speed, changing the wavelength.
Does a 220 hertz sound wave move faster than speed as 440 hertz sound wave?
No. All sound waves in the same air move at almost exactly the same speed. If different frequencies moved at different speeds, then live orchestras, choruses, and bands would be impossible ... sounds from different instruments or voices would reach the audience in the seats at different times. It would be a mess.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What effects speed and sound wave?
It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
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.
How does air pressure effects a sound wave?
Air pressure can affect a sound wave by changing the speed at which the wave travels. Higher air pressure leads to faster sound wave propagation due to increased molecular collisions, while lower air pressure can slow down sound waves. This can alter the pitch or tone of the sound.
What is the relationship between wavelength frequency and velocity of sound in air?
The wavelength of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, meaning higher frequency sound waves have shorter wavelengths. The speed of sound in air is constant at around 343 meters per second, regardless of the frequency of the sound wave. This means that as the frequency of a sound wave increases, its wavelength decreases, but the speed of sound in air remains the same.
What factors does the speed of sound not depend on?
The speed of sound does not depend on the amplitude of the sound wave or the frequency of the wave. It is primarily determined by the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or solids. Additionally, the speed of sound is not influenced by the direction in which the sound is traveling.
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
When a sound wave passes from cool air to warmer air, its speed increases due to the higher temperature in the warmer air, resulting in a shorter wavelength. This increase in speed causes the frequency of the sound wave to remain constant, as frequency is determined by the source of the sound rather than the medium it travels through.
Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
What is the speed and sound of air?
the speed of sound is describes how much distance is such a wave travels in a certain amount of time and the sound of air is wind noises.lol!! ~ ~
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.
The sound wave has a frequency of 436 Hz what is its wavelenghth?
You need to divide the speed of the wave by its frequency.The speed of the wave is a bit problematic for sound; it can vary A LOT, depending where the wave is going through. However, if we assume it goes through air, it should be somewhere around 350 m/s.
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The peak of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs is called the rarefaction. This is the point where the air molecules are spread out, creating a region of decreased pressure compared to the surrounding air.
