what is the definition of the speed of sound?

The speed of sound can be defined as the distance that sound waves travel in a given amount of time

Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids.

The speed of sound in dry air is 343 meters per second.
