The ratio of the speed of sound in a monatomic gas at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and rms speed of the molecules of the same gas at a temperature of \(127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is

  1. A 1 : 2
  2. B \(\sqrt{5}: \sqrt{12}\)
  3. C 3 : 4
  4. D \(\sqrt{13}: \sqrt{17}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{5}: \sqrt{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of sound in gas \(v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T_1}{M}}\) ...(i) rms speed of molecules, \(c=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T_2}{M}}\) ...(ii) For monoatonic gas, \(r=\frac{5}{3}\) Also, \(T_1=300 \mathrm{~K}, T_2=400 \mathrm{~K}\),…
