Calculates the speed of sound in a medium (commonly air) based on temperature or medium properties.
Start with your values, or try a preset.
Enter Temperature (°C), Temperature (°F), and Medium in the units shown.
Read Speed of Sound in Steel, Speed of Sound in Water (25°C), Speed of Sound in Air, Temperature (K), and Speed of Sound in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.
Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
See the inputs and their calculated results.
