How to Convert Speed of Sound to Centimeters per Second
To convert a measurement in speed of sound to a measurement in centimeters per second, multiply the speed by the following conversion ratio: 34,300 centimeters per second/speed of sound.
Since one speed of sound is equal to 34,300 centimeters per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
centimeters per second = speed of sound × 34,300
The speed in centimeters per second is equal to the speed in speed of sound multiplied by 34,300.
Speed of sound and centimeters per second are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is the Speed of Sound?
The speed of sound is the distance a sound wave travels through an elastic medium. The speed of sound through air at 20 °C is equal to 343 meters per second,[1] or roughly 767 miles per hour.
Speed of sound can be abbreviated as sound; for example, 1 speed of sound can be written as 1 sound.

What Are Centimeters per Second?
Centimeters per second are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in centimeters in one second.
The centimeter per second, or centimetre per second, is an SI unit of speed in the metric system. Centimeters per second can be abbreviated as cm/s, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cm/sec. For example, 1 centimeter per second can be written as 1 cm/s or 1 cm/sec.
In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[2] For example, cm/s is expressing a change in length or distance relative to a change in time.
Centimeters per second can be expressed using the formula:
vm/s = dcm / tsec
The velocity in centimeters per second is equal to the distance in centimeters divided by time in seconds.
