### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Sound Speed**: - The speed of sound refers to how fast a sound wave travels through a medium. It is defined as the distance traveled by the sound wave per unit time. 2. **Medium of Propagation**: - In this case, the medium through which sound is traveling is air. The speed of sound can vary depending on the type of gas and its temperature. ...
