The fastest possible speed of sound — 22.4 miles per second, nearly twice its speed in air at the Earth's surface — has been calculated for the first time. British researchers found that ...

A team from Los Alamos National Laboratory was able to use the microphone and a laser to calculate the speed of sound on Mars, and it's surprisingly slow. Share on Facebook (opens in a new ...

Then add them all up and divide by 10 to find the average. STEP 4 - CALCULATE. SPEED=DISTANCE/TIME. To work out the speed of the sound in metres per second, divide the distance in metres by the ...

Scientists have discovered the fastest possible speed of sound ... turned to quantum mechanics and math to calculate what would happen to sound zipping through a solid atom of hydrogen.

That is the surprising conclusion of physicists in the UK and Russia, who calculate that the speed limit is twice that of the highest speed of sound measured to date. Sound propagates as a series of ...

Although sound travels quite fast, it is still possible to measure its speed in air. To do this, you need to measure the time it takes a sound to travel a measured distance. To reduce errors ...
