distance calculations. Air temperature, on the other hand, can cause measurable distance
errors. The speed of sound increases by 0.6 meters per second (m/s) for every degree-
Celsius (°C) increase in temperature. Since the speed of sound is about 331.5 m/s at 0
°C, we can use this equation to calculate the speed of sound at a given temperature.
Below are examples for the speed of sound at two fairly comfortable, but slightly
different indoor temperatures.
Example 1: Calculate the speed of sound at 22.2 °C, which is approximately 72 degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
Example 2: Calculate the speed of sound at 25 °C, which is 77 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
How much of a difference does this make to your distance measurements? We can
calculate the percent error this will propagate with the percent error equation.
If the predicted temperature in the room is 72 °F (22.2 °C), and the actual temperature is
77 °F (25 °C), the error is 0.49 percent. Half a percent error would cause you to have to
