Give the expression for the velocity of longitudinal wave in an elasti

1.	Give the expression for the velocity of longitudinal wave in an elastic medium along with the meaning of the symbols used.
Answer» SOLUTION :`V = sqrt((Y)/( rho ))` where Y = YOUNG's modulus and `'rho'` density of the material.For LIQUIDS, `v = sqrt((K)/( rho))` where K = Bulk modulus of the medium.
