is a vibration that travels through an elastic medium as a wave. The speed of sound describes how much distance such a wave travels in a certain amount of time. In dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 m/s. This also equates t...

We know that sound moves. How fast does it move? ... It is important to understand that the way sound moves is very much dependent on the conditions of the ocean. The sound speed minimum at roughly 1000 meter depth in mid-latitudes creates a sound channel that lets sound travel long distances in the ocean.

Speed of Sound in Air ... The speed of sound in dry air is given approximately by ... This calculation is usually accurate enough, but for great precision one must examine the more general relationship for sound speed in gases. This sound speed does not apply to gases other than air, for example the helium from a balloon.

The first analytical determination of the speed of sound was given by Isaac Newton in Proposition 49 of Book II of the Principia. For sea level air at a typical ambient temperature he computed a value of 979 ft/sec, which is too low by about 15%, the true value being about 1116 ft/sec. To account for this...
