Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the speed of sound in air through the pulse-echo experiment and the measured air temperature. Hypothesis: I believe the measured air temperature will affect the speed of sound because sound waves are longitudinal waves composed of the alternating compressions and rarefactions in air. If the air temperature is below 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be lower than 331.6 m/s and if the air temperature is above 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be higher
