The velocities sound waves<br />

The velocities <strong>of</strong> the various kinds <strong>of</strong> sound waves can be calculated from the<br />

elastic constants <strong>of</strong> the material concerned, that is the modulus <strong>of</strong> elasticity E<br />

(measured in N/m2), the density p in kg/m 3 , and Poisson's ratio μ (a<br />

dimensionless number).<br />

for longitudinal waves:<br />

for transverse waves:
