In air:
* At 20°C (68°F): Approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second).
* Changes with temperature: Sound travels faster in warmer air. A general rule of thumb is that the speed of sound increases by about 0.6 meters per second for every 1°C increase in temperature.
In other mediums:
* Water: Approximately 1,480 meters per second (4,850 feet per second) at room temperature.
* Steel: Approximately 5,960 meters per second (19,550 feet per second).
* Diamond: Approximately 12,000 meters per second (39,000 feet per second).
Important Note:
* The speed of sound is also affected by factors like humidity and altitude.
* For highly accurate calculations, specific formulas are used that take into account these variables.
