The velocity of sound in air (under normal condition) is1. 344 m/sec2.  3320 m/sec3. 30 m/sec4. 3200 m/sec

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 344 m/sec

The correct answer is 344 m/sec.

  • The speed of sound is the distance traveled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.
  • At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 344 meters per second.
  • It depends strongly on temperature as well as the medium through which a sound wave is propagating.
  • The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends only on its composition and temperature. The speed has a weak dependence on pressure and frequency in ordinary air, deviating slightly from ideal behavior.
