Does the speed of sound depend on the amplitude of the pressure

>>8307249
In an ideal gas the spread of sound is dependant on temperature. The pressure wave behind the blast may increase atmospheric pressure but the effect would be minimal. The speed of sound is faster in hot air rather than cold air, however it is conceivable that the blast would strike a target near ground zero before the sound does.

Sorry. That was meant to be speed not spread...>>8307249

Can it be explained in layman's terms how exactly will the speed of outgoing molecules from the ground zero not affect the speed of pressure wave ?

>>8307280
Bullet into the ocean goes faster than the wave to shore?

>>8307292
Imaginably, yes

>>8307271
Ideal gas being the notion that the reality corresponds to mathematical model of gas from 19th century. This is not an explanation

self bump

think about it like an airplane going faster than speed. it makes a loud sound and then the sound seems to be emitted behind the airplane.

>>8307353
yes and now imagine every molecule having such great energy that it ventures beyond the speed of sound, emitting sound at distances not yet reached by the pressure wave basically increasing the speed of sound. So the speed of sound should be dependent on the magnitude of the pressure wave

>>8307383
The speed of sound is more dependant on density than pressure. The ground would carry the initial shock before the air in every case. Yes can only compress a gas so far. It just displaces more gas. The air molecules do not eminate sound. They just carry it.

You're confusing sound waves with particles. Think bullet through ocean waves. The waves travel at a set speed. The bullet can go faster.

Same happens in air. Supersonic craft create sound waves that carry and are slower than the aircraft in the medium of air.

The speed of air ain't the speed of sound.
