Speed of Sound Wave Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity of Sound Wave = 20.05*sqrt(Temperature)
C = 20.05*sqrt(T)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Velocity of Sound Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Sound Wave refers to the speed of sound with the distance traveled per unit of time by a sound wave.
Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Temperature refers to the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, determining how hot or cold the substance is, typically measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Temperature: 292.65 Kelvin --> 292.65 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = 20.05*sqrt(T) --> 20.05*sqrt(292.65)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 342.995672895446

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

342.995672895446 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

342.995672895446 ≈ 342.9957 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of Sound Wave

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Speed of Sound Wave Formula

Velocity of Sound Wave = 20.05*sqrt(Temperature)
C = 20.05*sqrt(T)

What is Temperature?

Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses hot and cold. It is the manifestation of thermal energy, present in all matter, which is the source of the occurrence of heat, a flow of energy, when a body is in contact with another that is colder or hotter. Temperature is measured with a thermometer.

How to Calculate Speed of Sound Wave?

Speed of Sound Wave calculator uses Velocity of Sound Wave = 20.05*sqrt(Temperature) to calculate the Velocity of Sound Wave, The Speed of Sound Wave formula is defined as speed, although, properly, velocity implies both speed and direction. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity. Velocity of Sound Wave is denoted by C symbol.

How to calculate Speed of Sound Wave using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Speed of Sound Wave, enter Temperature (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Speed of Sound Wave calculation can be explained with given input values -> 342.9957 = 20.05*sqrt(292.65).

FAQ

What is Speed of Sound Wave?

The Speed of Sound Wave formula is defined as speed, although, properly, velocity implies both speed and direction. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity and is represented as C = 20.05*sqrt(T) or Velocity of Sound Wave = 20.05*sqrt(Temperature). The Temperature refers to the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, determining how hot or cold the substance is, typically measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

How to calculate Speed of Sound Wave?

The Speed of Sound Wave formula is defined as speed, although, properly, velocity implies both speed and direction. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity is calculated using Velocity of Sound Wave = 20.05*sqrt(Temperature). To calculate Speed of Sound Wave, you need Temperature (T). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Temperature and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Velocity of Sound Wave?

In this formula, Velocity of Sound Wave uses Temperature. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Velocity of Sound Wave = (Wavelength of Sound Wave*Frequency of Sound Wave)
Velocity of Sound Wave = Pressure RMS^2/(Sound Intensity Level*Density of Air)
