Usually we talk about speed of sound. Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.
Velocity is a measure of both speed and direction of a moving object.
Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Speed is a distance an object goes, velocity is measurment of speed AND direction. Speed of sound at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is 343 meters per second.
What else can I help you with?
What is sound wave velocity?
Sound wave velocity is the speed at which sound waves travel through a medium. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity. In general, sound waves travel faster in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.
What determines the velocity of sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. Velocity of sound waves in air at NTP = 332 m/s. Sound waves cannot pass through free space they essentially needs material medium for their propagation.
When the air temperature is 25C what is the velocity of sound waves traveling through the air?
The velocity of sound waves in air at 25°C is approximately 346 meters per second. Sound travels faster in warmer air due to the higher average speed of air molecules.
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
The velocity of sound in vacuum is 0 m/s because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and therefore, there is no velocity of sound in vacuum.
Is velocity of sound maximum in hydrogen oxygen ammonia or in nitrogen?
The velocity of sound is highest in a medium where the particles are closest together and have strong intermolecular forces, which allows sound waves to travel more efficiently. Therefore, the velocity of sound is highest in ammonia, followed by nitrogen, hydrogen, and then oxygen.

The medium through which sound waves travel affects the?
Velocity.
At what ocean depth do sound waves reach their minimum velocity?
About 1000 meters
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
When the temperature of the air is 25centermeter the velocity of a sound waves traveling?

Did velocity of sound is greater in water than in air?
Yes, the velocity of sound is greater in water than in air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it.
What is the difference between ultrasonic and supersonic waves?
a sound wave transmitted at a frequency greater than 20,000 per second, or beyond the normal hearing range of humans. The specific wavelength is equal to the velocity divided by the frequency. this wave is generated from tranducers, tranducers converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy(wave), i.e ultrasonic wave.supersonic waves are those wave whose velocity are greater than the sound wave. Supersonic waves are generated by high explosives.
When the temperature of the air is 25C the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately in steel casting are detected by?
The velocity of sound in the air is about 330 m/s. The velocity of sound in a liquid is about three times that. But varies widely with liquid. The velocity of sound in a solid body is about 4 or 5 times that of the sound in air. But once again, it varies widely with the solid. hint, check the values for lead and tungsten.
