[edit] Silicon sound speed wrong

The silicon sound speed appears to be wrong; should be closer to 5 km/s for transverse and 8.8 km/s for longitudinal. The Web Elements site does indeed cite 2.2 km/s, but this doesn't match up with anything else I can find. --Reuben 02:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed that Samsonov does give 2200 m/s. But others don't agree, for instance Dieulesaint & Royer, Elastic waves in solids. --Reuben 22:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
