Can anyone show that the speed of sound, or rather, speed of low-energy mechanical waves follows the relationship:
a2 = ( bulk modulus / density )
This holds for sound waves, and is also similar to the waves on strings formula.
Can anyone show how this is derived? I read a book and they said "by apply Newton's laws". But how?
