How does the speed of sound in air vary with temperature ?

Open in App
Solution

The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows:

v=331 ms1+0.6 ms1C1×T

v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air.

So we can see that the speed of sound increases by 0.61 ms1 for each 1oC rise in temperature.
