   The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.

   How long does it take for a sound wave of frequency 2 kHz and a wavelength of 35 cm to travel a distance of 1.5 km? Solution: We know that the speed of sound is given by the formula: v = λ ν. Substituting the values in the equation, we get. v = 0.35 m × 2000 Hz = 700 m/s.

   Sound, like all waves, travels at a certain speed and has the properties of frequency and wavelength. You can observe direct evidence of the speed of sound while watching a fireworks display. The flash of an explosion is seen well before its sound is heard, implying both that sound travels at a finite speed and that it is much slower than light.

   P-waves have speeds of 4 to 7 km/s, and S-waves correspondingly range in speed from 2 to 5 km/s, both being faster in more rigid material. The P-wave gets progressively farther ahead of the S-wave as they travel through Earth’s crust.

   How fast is a sound wave compared to a light wave?

   • While this speed may seem fast by human standards (the fastest humans can sprint at approximately 11 m/s and highway speeds are approximately 30 m/s), the speed of a sound wave is slow in comparison to the speed of a light wave. Light travels through air at a speed of approximately 300 000 000 m/s; this is nearly 900 000 times the speed of sound.

   What determines the speed of a sound wave in air?

   • The speed of a sound wave in air depends upon the properties of the air - primarily the temperature. Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids; sound travels slowest in gases such as air. The speed of sound can be calculated as the distance-per-time ratio or as the product of frequency and wavelength.

   What is the speed of a sound wave?

   • Since the speed of a wave is defined as the distance that a point on a wave (such as a compression or a rarefaction) travels per unit of time, it is often expressed in units of meters/second (abbreviated m/s). In equation form, this is The faster a sound wave travels, the more distance it will cover in the same period of time.

   What is the frequency of a sound wave?

   • The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time. Figure 2. A sound wave emanates from a source vibrating at a frequency f, propagates at vw, and has a wavelength λ. Table 1 makes it apparent that the speed of sound varies greatly in different media.
