COMEDK · Physics · 16. Waves and Sound
The ratio of velocity of sound in hydrogen and oxygen at STP is
- A \(16: 1\)
- B \(8: 1\)
- C \(4: 1\)
- D \(2: 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(4: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The velocity of sound in a gas is given by \(v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}}\) At STP, both gases are at same temperature and as they are diatomic, so their specific heat ratio \((\gamma)\) is also same.…
