  • kiirus, millega heli konkreetsetes tingimustes kindlaksmääratud keskkonnas levib
  • speed at which sound travels in a given medium under specified conditions
  • distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium
helikiirus preferred
Usage examples
  • Helikiirusel on nõrk sõltuvus sagedusest ja rõhust tavalises õhus, kaldudes veidi kõrvale ideaalsest käitumisest, mistõttu kõnekeeles viitab heli kiirus helilainete kiirusele õhus.
Good to know
  • Üldiselt helikiirus on aga aineti erinev: tavaliselt liigub heli kõige aeglasemalt gaasides, kiiremini vedelikes ja kõige kiiremini tahketes ainetes, näiteks on helikiirus merepinna kõrgusel rahvusvahelises standardatmosfääris 1 215 km/h.
helilevikiirus
häälekiirus
speed of sound preferred
Usage examples
  • The speed of sond has a weak dependence on frequency and pressure in ordinary air, deviating slightly from ideal behavior, as a result of which in colloquial speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air.
Good to know
  • However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance: typically, sound travels most slowly in gases, faster in liquids, and fastest in solids.
acoustical velocity variant
