It depends on air pressure and temperature and whatnot, but it's about 340 meters/second.
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per sec.
No, the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of light. The speed of sound in air is around 343 meters per second, while the speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
Speed of light in vacuum is a constant which is denoted by c and is 1,86,000 miles/sec or 299,792,458 meters/second. In dry air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius speed of sound is 343 meters/second.
At 50 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound in water is approximately 1,503 meters per second.
1484 m/s, 4868 ft/sec
The speed of sound varies with temperature. At commonly experienced temperatures, it's about 343 meters/sec. Frequency = speed/wavelength = 343/0.686 = 500 Hz
Using the speed of sound at sea-level ... approx 343 meters per second ... it would take about 10.25 minutes. _________________________________________________________________ The answer above in incorrect if sonic speed is 343 meters/sec. One mile is 1609.344 meters (exactly) 1609.344 meters/mi x 144mi ≈ 231746 meters in 144 miles 231746 meters divided by 343 meter/sec ≈ 675.6 sec or 11.26 minutes
The definition of the speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000,000 meters/sec, or 186,000 miles/sec.
73.5 km/hour = 73500 meters/hour = 73500/3600 meters/sec = 20.4166 meters/sec
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) If this is a 1 KHz sound wave in air, speed = approx 343 meters/sec Sound wavelength = (343 / 1,000) = 0.343 meter = 34.3 cm If this is a 1 KHz radio wave, speed = approx 300,000,000 meters/sec E & M wavelength = (300,000,000 / 1,000) = 300 Km
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1.500 meters if sound travels at a speed of 330 m/sec
Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (12 per sec) x (2 meters) = 24 m/sec
