The 18 pages that link to Sound speed, each with the reason it gives.

• Shock waveRelated: A shock's defining motion is faster than this local signal speed.

• DetonationRelated: Sonic conditions in the products define the ideal Chapman–Jouguet state.

• AcousticsRelated: It links frequency and wavelength and varies with the medium's properties.

• Jeans instabilityRelated: It sets how quickly pressure communicates across a perturbation and resists collapse.

• Mach numberRelated: It is the denominator of the Mach number and varies with the medium’s thermodynamic state.

• Gravitational instabilityRelated: It measures how rapidly pressure communicates support against gravitational compression.

• Phase velocityCompared with: In a nondispersive sound wave it matches phase velocity; dispersion separates them.

• SoundRelated: Propagation speed varies with the medium and helps determine wavelength.

• Compressible flowRelated: It sets the reference speed for judging compressibility effects.

• DeflagrationRelated: Deflagration is defined by its wave traveling slower than sound in the material.

• Bulk modulusRelated: In fluids, it depends on bulk modulus and density.

• CompressibilityRelated: For a fluid, sound speed depends on density and adiabatic compressibility.

• Supersonic flightNarrower topic: Supersonic speed is defined relative to sound traveling through the surrounding air.

• Aviation recordsRelated: Supersonic speed records are framed around crossing this physical threshold.

• PhotoevaporationRelated: The heated gas’s sound speed helps set the outflow’s characteristic speed.

• Helmholtz resonanceRelated: It affects the resonant frequency through the air’s compressibility and density.

• Metre per secondRelated: Sound propagation rates are commonly stated in metres per second.

• Acoustic techniquesRelated: Known or measured sound speed converts travel time into distance and depth.
