What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature

Q: Answer-What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature (approx)?

At room temperature 20C, speed of sound in air is around 343 ms. This speed increases in solids and liquids and decreases at higher altitudes. It is much slower than light, which travels at 3 108, ms. Thats why we see lightning before hearing thunder.

(approx)?

A 150 m/s

B 343 m/s

C 500 m/s

D 1000 m/s
