The ratio of the speed of sound in nitrogen gas to that in helium gas, at 300K isA. `sqrt(((2)/(7)))`B. `sqrt(((1)/(7)))`C. `sqrt((3))/(5)`D. `sqrt(6)/(5)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `because V_(sound) = sqrt((gammaRT)/(M_(W)))` `therefore (V_(N_(2)))/(V_(He)) = sqrt((gamma_(N_(2)))/(M_(N_(2)))xx (M_(He))/(gamma_(He))) = sqrt((7)/(5) xx (1)/(28) xx (4)/(1) xx (3)/(5))= sqrt(3)/(5)` |
