The speed of sound, through air, at STP is: 331 m/s.

Related Information:

The speed of sound changes, most with temperature, slightly with humidity, and slightly with atmospheric pressure because air is not an ideal gas. Pressure has no effect on sound speed in an ideal gas.

The speed of sound in dry air, at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), is 343 meters per second, or 1126 feet per second.

When the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius what is the approximate velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air?

The approximate speed of sound in air at 25°C is 346.45 m/s².


What speed does sound travel through a gas?

Sound travels through each medium (and each gas) at different velocities.In air, sound travels at an approximate speed of 330 m/s.Factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the speed of sound.


What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?

the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s


The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and what?

only wavelengthActually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/swhere T is the kelvin temperature.


Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?

The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it


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


Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?

Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air


How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?

The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second, while the speed of sound in solids can vary but is generally higher than in air. In solids, sound waves travel faster due to the denser medium and stronger intermolecular bonds.


Why is the speed of sound in nitrogen similar to the speed of sound in air?

This is because air is 78% nitrogen.


The speed of sound in a solid is what than the speed of sound in air?

Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?

No, it is not.
