Thank you all for contributing, I think have found the answer I was looking for when I started this thread !

Particular thanks for the light hearted, off topic, diversions, that is one of the best things in this forum. Gentlemen, you know who you are, take a bow, you are an unsung treasure of this forum, one can always count on you to bring humour into any topic!

Finally, special big thank you to Steve, mate you have taught me a valuable lesson.

Stolar why did you close the other thread off,

I just wanted to make sure that an agreeance was reached, are we now agreeing that speed of sound is different dependant on the angles its pumped into the material, I ask becuase you said prove it, so when I went to provide proof you had already closed the thread off. if we are in agreeance, excellent... Merry Christmas

photo 2, note the velocity reading of the sound wave and the angle the sound wave is put into the material

Photo 3
Different angle with a different sound velocity reading, hence sound dependant on how it is introdiced into the material will travel at different speeds

As Stolar indicated in his last post in that thread, he has his answer.
