Answer:
A correction to the calculation of the speed of sound in a gas. Newton assumed that the pressure–volume changes that occur when a sound wave travels through the gas are isothermal. Laplace was subsequently able to obtain agreement between theory and experiment by assuming that pressure–volume changes are adiabatic.

While giving the velocity of sound in air he described that rearfraction and compression are isothemal processes. The velocity of sound through Newton theory was not absolute as compared to experimentally velocity of sound.
To overcome this Laplace come forth: he described there is no heat exchange as reatefraction and compression is very fast.
