Conversion number between speed of sound [s] and speed of light [c] is 1.1428027604028 × 10-6. This means, that speed of sound is smaller unit than speed of light.
Switch to reverse conversion:
from speed of light to speed of sound conversion
| [s] |
Result in speed of light
?If conversion between speed of sound to metre-per-second and metre-per-second to speed of light is exactly definied, high precision conversion from speed of sound to speed of light is enabled.
Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Definition of speed of sound unit: ≡ (1.4 x 286 x (20+273.15) )-2. Speed of sound in the air. But this speed varies between 295-340 m/s depending on the air temperature and pressure. From the NASA formula I calculated the speed on sea level at 20°C.
Definition of speed of light unit: ≡ 299 792 458 m/s. Light velocity (in vacuum) is one of the basic physical constants. Sign c (Latin celeritas = speed). Its value is exactly: 299792458 m/s. Example: electromagnetic waves propagation speed 1 c.
