Velocity Of Sound In Sea Water (20°c, 10 Meter Deep)
The velocity of sound in seawater at 20°C and 10 meters depth, approximately 1,480 meters per second.
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in seawater has been essential for underwater acoustics, sonar technology, and marine research since the early 20th century, with values influenced by temperature, salinity, and pressure.
Current Use
Used in oceanography, submarine navigation, and acoustic communication to determine distance, map the seafloor, and study marine environments.
Velocity Of Light In Vacuum
The velocity of light in vacuum, denoted by the symbol c, is the constant speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through empty space, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
History/Origin
The concept of the speed of light has been studied since the 17th century, with significant contributions from scientists like Ole Rømer, who first estimated its finite speed in 1676, and Albert Michelson, who refined measurements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The value of c was precisely defined in 1983 by the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
The speed of light in vacuum is a fundamental constant used in physics, astronomy, and engineering. It underpins theories of relativity, defines the meter in the SI system, and is essential for calculations involving electromagnetic radiation and high-speed phenomena.
