Aerospace | An approximation to the speed of sound a in a perfect gas given by the relation a2 = p / ? where p is pressure and ? is density. Compare Laplacian speed of sound. See acoustic velocity.Newton derived this expression by assuming the propagation of sound to be an isothermal process. It leads to values about 16 percent below those observed. (references) |
