  • Speed of Sound: Calculation & Factors Affecting Velocity
    The speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is approximately 343 meters per second.

    However, the speed of sound can vary depending on:

    * Temperature: Sound travels faster in warmer air.

    * Medium: Sound travels at different speeds in different substances (e.g., water, steel).

    Here are some examples:

    * Water: 1482 m/s

    * Steel: 5960 m/s

    Let me know if you need the speed of sound in a specific medium or at a different temperature!
