1. Physical phenomenon consisting of
wave motion in a transmitting
medium (objective)
2. Sensation due to outside simulation
(subjective)
Velocity of Sound
Solids
Where:
E = Youngs Modulus of elasticity, dynes/cm 3
d = density of the medium, g/cm3
Velocity of Sound
Liquids
Where:
E = Bulks Modulus of elasticity, dynes/cm 3
d = density of the medium, g/cm3
Velocity of Sound
Gases
Where:
k = specific heat ratio = hsp/hsv
hsp = specific heat at constant pressure
hsv = specific heat at constant volume
p = gas pressure, dynes/cm2
d = density, g/cm3

Velocity of Sounds
Notes
Sounds travel more slowly in gases than in
liquids, and more slowly in liquids than in
solids.
Sounds travels slower with an increased
altitude (elevation if you are on solid earth),
primarily as a result and humidity changes.
