The speed of sound is the velocity of sound through a mechanical (elastic) medium (such as air, water, concrete, etc.). It will vary as the medium through which it travels varies. In general, the speed of sound is faster in liquids and even faster in solids.
In air, the speed of sound has little to do with the atmospheric pressure "at sea level" or with the humidity, but the temperature is very important. Therefore we can set aside questions of altitude and humidity.
The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s or 1126.547 ft/s (768.095 mph) at a temperature of 20°C or 68°F
The air pressure and the air density are proportional to each other at the same temperature.
Scroll down to related links and read the short article "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure" and "Calculation of the speed of sound".
The speed of sound at sea level is equal to 340.29 metres per second.
343 meters/second (1,125 ft/s) or 1,236 kilometers/hour (768 mph).
This speed is variable, dependent on the air density (elevation), temperature, and humidity.
Notice: The speed of sound changes with temperature and
a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading.
The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary.
The speed of sound at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is 343 meters per second.
Speed of sound is 331m/s in Air Medium. It varies from medium to medium. It is highest in some crystals.
340.29 m / s
speed of sound at sea level = 340.29 m/s
It is hard to be too precise as the speed of sound is affected by humidity. Over land the speed of sound is 331.3 m/s but slightly higher when the air is wet. Generally, the difference in seconds between the lightning and the sound of thunder is divided by 3 to get the distance of the lightning strike in kilometres.
What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
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.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?

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

Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?

Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?
No, it is not.
