  • Speed of Sound in Air: A Comprehensive Guide
    The velocity of sound in air under normal conditions is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s), or 767 miles per hour (mph).

    "Normal conditions" typically refer to:

    * Temperature: 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit)

    * Atmospheric Pressure: 1 atmosphere (atm)

    It's important to note that the speed of sound is affected by:

    * Temperature: The speed of sound increases with temperature.

    * Humidity: The presence of water vapor slightly increases the speed of sound.

    * Altitude: The speed of sound decreases with altitude due to lower air density.
