KCET2007PhysicsWaves and Sound
The ratio of the velocity of sound in hydrogen ( = 7 5 ) to that in helium ( = 5 3 ) at the same temperature is
Options
- A5 42
- B5 21
- C42 5
- D21 5
Correct answer
C. 42 5
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of sound in a gas v= p d v_ H ₂ V_ He = _ H ₂ d_ He d_ H ₂ _ He H ₂ He = 7 3 2 5 5 array ll As & d_ He d_ H ₂ =2 & v_ H ₂ v_ He = 42 5 array
