I have studied earlier that the velocity of sound in air is.
3* (10^8) m/sec.
Is it wrong?
Explain please.

It is not velocity of sound, but velocity of light is 3*10^8m/s.

The speed of sound is the distance traveled per unit time by a sound wave propagating through an elastic medium. The SI unit of the speed of sound is the meter per second (m/s).
In dry air at 20°C, the speed of sound is 343.59 meters per second (1,127 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometers per hour (768 mph; 667 km), or a kilometer in 2.914 s or a mile in 4.689 s.
