The speed of sound in a medium depends on the properties of that medium, primarily its density and elasticity. In general, sound travels faster in denser and more elastic media. For example, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 340 meters per second. However, the speed of sound can vary slightly depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure.
