If the pressure, temperature and density of an ideal gas are denoted by P, T and rho, respectively, the velocity of sound in the gas is

Answer»

proportional to `sqrt(P)`, when T is CONSTANT
proportional to `sqrt(T)`
proportional to `sqrt(P)`, when `RHO` is constant
proportional to T.

Solution :Speed of the sound in the GAS is given by,
`v = sqrt((lambdaRT)/m) = sqrt((lambdaP)/rho)`
From this we conclude that velocity of sound in gas is proportional to `sqrt(T)` and also proportional to `sqrt(P)`, when `rho` is constant.
