What is the fastest sound can travel?
What is the fastest sound can travel? Scientists have discovered the fastest possible speed of sound, a zippy 22 miles (36 kilometers) per second. Sound waves move at different speeds in solids, liquids and gases, and within those states of matter — for instance, they travel faster in warmer liquids compared with colder ones.
Is 700 mph the speed of sound?
Using this formula, the approximate speed of sound at 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit) is: 344 meters per second (m/s) 1128 feet per second (f/s) 770 miles per hour (mph)
