The speed of sound in hydrogen gas at N . T . P is 1328 m s - 1 . If the density of hydrogen is 1 16 th of that of air, then the speed of sound in air at N . T . P is
Options
- A340 m s - 1
- B332 m s - 1
- C320 m s - 1
- D280 m s - 1
Correct answer
B. 332 m s - 1
Step-by-step solution
Here,  v H 2 = 1328   m   s − 1   ;    ρ H 2 = ρ air 16   ;    v = γP 8 Let v air  be the velocity of sound in air at N.T.P Now ,    v air v H 2 = ρ H 2 ρ air                  Since
