1can you post the formula for the speed-of-sound? – JEB Jan 16 '23 at 15:43

"sound speed"$^2$$\sim $"pressure"/"density" but this (very) rough scaling is not true in all materials. Possible duplicate: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/555687/226902 . Interesting and related: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/502429/226902 – Quillo Jan 16 '23 at 15:53
