SUMMARY
The speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temperature, represented mathematically as v ∝ √T. In practical applications, the velocity can be scaled using the formula √T1 / √T0, eliminating the need for the multiplier k in calculations. This method simplifies the process of determining sound velocity at different temperatures. Users confirmed the effectiveness of this approach in their calculations.
