<math display="block">v_{Ti} = \left(\frac{kT_i}{m_i}\right)^\frac{1}{2} \approx 9.79 \times 10^5\,\left(\frac{T_i}{\mu}\right)^\frac{1}{2}\ \mbox{cm/s}</math>
| '''ion speed of sound''', the speed of the longitudinal waves resulting from the mass of the ions and the pressure of the electrons:
<math display="block">c_s = \left(\frac{\gamma ZkT_e}{m_i}\right)^\frac{1}{2} \approx 9.79 \times 10^53\,\left(\frac{\gamma ZT_e}{\mu}\right)^\frac{1}{2}\ \mbox{cm/s},</math>
 
where <math>\gamma</math> is the [[adiabatic index]]
