hljóðhraði
Hljóðhraði, commonly translated as the speed of sound, refers to the distance that a sound wave travels through an elastic medium per unit of time. This speed is not constant and depends on several factors, primarily the properties of the medium through which the sound is propagating.
The most significant factor influencing the speed of sound is the medium's elasticity. Denser materials, like
Temperature also plays a crucial role. In gases, an increase in temperature leads to faster particle movement,
Pressure has a relatively minor effect on the speed of sound in gases, provided the temperature remains
