What is the sound velocity in the air at 0°C ?

  • A.1269 m/s
  • B.331 m/s
  • C.1435 m/s
  • D.5130 m/s

Answer: B

The speed of sound in air at 0 °C is 331 m/s.

In dry air at 0 °C sound travels at about 331 m/s, increasing by about 0.6 m/s for each degree rise in temperature, so it is about 343 m/s at 20 °C.

The other values belong to other media: about 1,270 m/s is the speed in hydrogen gas, about 1,400 to 1,500 m/s in water, and around 5,000 m/s or more in metals such as iron.
