Write Newton's equation for the speed of a sound wave in air.
(N/A) Newton assumed that the propagation of sound waves in air is an isothermal process,meaning the temperature of the air remains constant during the compression and rarefaction cycles.
According to Newton,the speed of sound $v$ in a gas is given by the formula:
$v = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}}$
Where:
$P$ is the pressure of the gas.
$\rho$ is the density of the gas.
This formula is known as Newton's formula for the speed of sound.
