The velocity of sound in air is approximately-
- A10 km/sec
- B10 mile/min
- C330 m/sec
- D3 × 10¹⁰/sec
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) 330 m/sec
Explanation
Sound travels through air at about 330–340 m/s: about 332 m/s at 0 °C, a little faster in warm air.
It is much faster in water (about 1500 m/s) and in steel (about 5000–6000 m/s).
