If you took multiple readings then you can sum them and divide by the number of readings to get an average time reading. Speed of Sound in Gases Fluids and Solids. Sound through different materials.
Average speed distance travelled time taken 34 001 340 ms.
The speed of sound depends on several variables but the only independent variable we need to calculate the speed of sound is the temperature of the air. Table given of speed of sound in different media at 25 c. When understanding the speed of sound through different mediums or materials there are several factors to consider besides density. The faster a sound wave travels the more distance it will cover in the same period of time.
