Measuring the Speed of Sound and Air using a Pulse-Echo Technique Purpose To determine the speed of sound in air using the pulse-echo experiment procedure‚ and comparing it to the predicted speed of sound in air using the measured air temperature of the classroom. Hypothesis I believe that the speed of sound it the air will be close to that of the predicted value. According to our predicted value‚ we should expect the speed of sound in the air to be at a speed of approximately 346 m/s. Materials
