Calculate the speed of longitudinal waves in the following gases at `0^(@) C` and `1 atm( = 10^(5) pa):` (a) oxygen for which the bulk modulus is `1.41 xx 10^(5)` pa and density is `1.43 kg//m ^(3)` . (b) helium for which the bulk modulus is `1.7xx 10^(5)` pa and density is `0.18 kg//m^(3)` .

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
(a) `nu_(o2)= sqrt (B/(rho))`
`= sqrt((1.41xx10^(50))/(1.43)`
`314 m//s`
(b) `nu_(He) =sqrt(B/(rho))`
`= sqrt((1.7xx10^(5))/(0.18)`
`= 972 m//s`
