The speed of sound depends on the medium and temperature. In dry air at 20°C it is approximately 343 m/s. It is much faster in water and steel.

공식

Speed of sound ≈ 331.3 + 0.606 × T(°C) m/s | Dry air at sea level | Faster in denser media (water, steel)

단계별 가이드

1Speed in air = 331.3 × √(1 + T°C/273.15) m/s
2Increases ~0.6 m/s per °C in air
3In water at 20°C: ~1,482 m/s
4In steel: ~5,960 m/s
