Mach Number is defined as the ratio of speed to the speed of sound in the medium in study. Since the speed of sound increases with the increase of temperature, th actual speed of an object travelling on Mach 1 will depend on the fluid temperature around it.
The Mach Number is named after Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach.
