To calculate the time it takes for sound waves to travel from one point to another, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Where:
- Time is the time it takes for the sound waves to travel (in seconds).
- Distance is the distance between the two points (in meters).
- Speed is the speed of sound (in meters per second).
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature and normal atmospheric conditions. However, it can vary depending on factors like temperature, humidity, and altitude.
By dividing the distance between the two points by the speed of sound, you can determine the time it takes for the sound waves to travel that distance.
