At what temperature does the velocity of sound in air increased by 10% comparison with velocity at 0^ C ?
Options
- A45^ C
- B57^ C
- C27^ C
- D18^ C
Correct answer
B. 57^ C
Step-by-step solution
Speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the square root of temperature. i.e. v₁ T₁ ...(i) v₂ T₂ ...(ii) Now, v₁ v₂ = T₁ T₂ At 0^ C , T₁=273 ~K Increase in velocity =10 % i.e., v₂= 11 10 v₁ array rlrl & Hence, & v₁ 11 10 v₁ & = 273 T₂ & 10 11 & = 273 T₂ 100 121 = 273 T₂ & & T₂ & = 273 121 100 & & =330.33 ~K =57.33^ C 57^ C array
