v = √(γP/ρ)

Where:

* v is the velocity of sound

* γ is the adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats) of the medium. For air, γ ≈ 1.4

* P is the pressure of the medium

* ρ is the density of the medium

Simplified equation for air at room temperature:

For air at room temperature (20°C or 68°F), the speed of sound is approximately:

v ≈ 343 m/s

Important Notes:

* The speed of sound varies depending on the medium and its temperature.

* The adiabatic index (γ) is a property of the medium that reflects how its pressure and volume change during sound propagation.

* The equation above is valid for ideal gases.

For other mediums, the speed of sound may be calculated using different equations.
