The speed of sound in dry air at 20°C is about 330 m/sec. Humidity has a small effect on speed.
In most gasses the speed of sound depends primarily on the temperature and, of course, the type of gas. It does not depend on pressure.
The formula for the speed of sound is, c = sqrt( gamma * pressureabsolute / density ), where gamma is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at a constant-pressure to the gas at a constant-volume(Cp / Cv).
For gasses with near ideal gas behavior, density is proportional to pressure, so the speed of sound is independent of pressure. Air, and its constituent gasses, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, plus helium and others, have very nearly ideal gas behaviors near room temperature and above. Only when a gas is near its condensation point does the formula fail, as it would with water vapor.
In other extreme cases, such as very high frequency sound or shock waves, deviation from the ideal case can also be observed.

What else can I help you with?
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?
Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.
Which one of the following environments will sound not travel through a solid b gas c vacuum d liquid?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for the propagation of mechanical waves.
Can sound travel through solid and liquid and gas?
Yes, sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels as vibrations, and these vibrations can move through the molecules of a material, whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through.
Where does sound travels through?
Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.
Does sound travel more quickly through a liquid or a solid?
A liquid
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?
Sound will travel fastest through a solid because the molecules in a solid are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of sound waves. Liquids and gases have molecules that are more spread out, hindering the speed at which sound can travel through them.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?
Solid. Because it's more dense.
Does sound only traveled through gases?
No. Sound will travel through any sort of matter, gas, solid, or liquid.
Does sound travel through solid liquid or gas?
It travels through all three, but at different speeds.
How do sound waves travel trough matter?
Sound waves travel through the three states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) by vibrations.
Which one of the following environments will sound not travel through a solid b gas c vacuum d liquid?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for the propagation of mechanical waves.
What are the materials needed for this project Does sound travel best through solid liquid or gas?
i think you need a solid liquid and gas first to do this project
Can sound travel through solid and liquid and gas?
Yes, sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound travels as vibrations, and these vibrations can move through the molecules of a material, whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through.
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
How fast will sound travel through a solid liquid and gas in meters per second?
depending on the nature of the solid liquid or gas. usually gas the fastest followed by liquid than solid.
