Hi Sumanth,
I would absolutely have no problem to accept that the info about speed of sound is not in Rig Veda as long as it confirms that subject matters has been dealt in our other Vedas (Atharva Veda). So, I would wait for your reply if you find some information from your teachers regarding this that would be helpful to me for my future reference.
As Rig Veda is oldest of the Vedas and Atharva Veda contains many hymns from the Rig Veda, it was more logical for me to believe that the info regarding speed of sound must have been from Rig Veda that is considered as heart of all vedas. Though Bagavad Gita teaches Vedanta Treatise, it primarily applies to Rig Veda technically. Like Aryabhatta informed the world that earth is not flat and spherical in shape and he found how longer the day is, Sayana must have mentioned about the speed of light in his commentary on Rig Veda. However, you are welcome to point out that the info about speed of light is discussed in some other Veda (or not at all dealt in our Vedas).
Regards.
