Formula:
The speed of sound in air can be approximated using the following formula:
* v = 331.5 + 0.6T
Where:
* v is the speed of sound in meters per second (m/s)
* T is the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C)
Calculation:
1. Substitute the temperature:
v = 331.5 + 0.6 * 12
2. Calculate:
v = 331.5 + 7.2
v = 338.7 m/s
Therefore, the speed of sound at 12 degrees Celsius is approximately 338.7 meters per second.
