Sound waves propagate due to the compression and rarefaction of the particles of the medium. The sound waves are also called longitudinal or compressional waves. The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it is passing. The formula for speed of sound waves is;
c= [C/p]1/2
c, C and p represent the speed of sound, stiffness of the medium(elastic modulus) and density of the medium respectively. The speed of sound wave in solid is greater than liquids. The speed in liquids is larger than speed in gases.
