Overview

Engineering reference data for Speed of Sound in Air, Water and Other Media in acoustics.

Key Formulas

Speed of Sound

c=γRTc = \sqrt{\gamma R T}

Speed of sound in an ideal gas.

Sound Level

L=10log10(I/I0)L = 10 \log_{10}(I/I_0)

Decibel level.

Wavelength

λ=c/f\lambda = c / f

Wavelength = speed / frequency.
