The speed of sound in air is significantly lower than the speed of sound in water. Among the options provided, the plausible speed for a sound wave in air is:
**340 m/s**
This is approximately the average speed of sound in air at room temperature, while the other options (3500 m/s, 5900 m/s, and 1400 m/s) are not realistic for sound traveling in air.
**340 m/s**
This is approximately the average speed of sound in air at room temperature, while the other options (3500 m/s, 5900 m/s, and 1400 m/s) are not realistic for sound traveling in air.
