Converting from Speed of sound in water (ssiw) to Speed of sound in air (ssia) | Speed

What is Speed of sound in water (ssiw)

The speed of sound in water (ssiw) is the velocity at which sound waves travel through water. It is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and salinity. In freshwater at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is approximately 1482 meters per second.

What is Speed of sound in air (ssia)

The speed of sound in air (ssia) is the velocity at which sound waves propagate through the air. It varies depending on factors like temperature, humidity, and composition of the air. Under standard conditions (at sea level and 20 degrees Celsius), the speed of sound in dry air is approximately 343 meters per second.
