# Speed of Sound Calculator

Formula: Speed of Sound (c) = γ × p0ρ

Where Ratio of Specific Heats(γ) = 1.4

Enter the unknown value as ‘ x ‘

Pressure (P0) = Pa

Density (ρ) = kgm3

Speed of sound (c) = ms1

x =

Speed of Sound Calculator is a free online tool that displays the speed of the sound. BYJU’S online speed of sound calculator tool makes the calculation faster and it displays the sound speed in a fraction of seconds.

## How to Use the Speed of Sound Calculator?

The procedure to use the speed of sound calculator is as follows:

Step 1: Enter the pressure, density and x for the unknown value in the input field

Step 2: Now click the button “Calculate x” to get the sound speed

Step 3: Finally, the speed of the sound will be displayed in the output field

### What is Meant by Speed of Sound?

In Physics, the speed of sound represents the speed of the sound waves. It is the dynamic propagation of the sound waves in the elastic medium. The formula to calculate the speed of sound is given by the formula

$$\begin{array}{l}v =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho }}\end{array}$$

Where

v is the speed of sound

$$\begin{array}{l}\rho\end{array}$$
is the density

P is the pressure

$$\begin{array}{l}\gamma\end{array}$$
