    Jul 21, 2023 · Using the ideal gas law, the speed of sound in a gas can be determined through the formula: v = √ (γ x (RT/M)) Where: For air, which is primarily a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, the average value of (\gamma) is 1.4. The molar mass of dry air is approximately 28.97 g/mol.

    Jul 25, 2024 · This speed of sound calculator determines the speed of sound in the air and water. Not everybody knows about the sound speed dependence on the temperature – the higher the air temperature, the faster the sound can propagate.

    In a fluid, the speed of sound depends on the bulk modulus and the density, v = B ρ. The speed of sound in a solid depends on the Young’s modulus of the medium and the density, v = Y ρ. In an ideal gas (see The Kinetic Theory of Gases), the equation for the speed of sound is.

    While not negligible, this is not a strong dependence. At [latex]0{}^\circ \text{C}[/latex], the speed of sound is 331 m/s, whereas at [latex]20.0{}^\circ \text{C}[/latex], it is 343 m/s, less than a [latex]4\text{%}[/latex] increase. Figure shows how a bat uses the speed of sound to sense distances.
