The speed of a longitudinal wave in a metallic bar is \(400~m/s.\) If the density and Young's modulus of the bar material are increased by 0.5% and 1% respectively then the speed of the wave is changed approximately to ___________ \(m / s\).

  1. A 399
  2. B 398
  3. C 402
  4. D 401
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 401

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_{sound}=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}\) \(\frac{\Delta V}{V}\times100=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{\Delta Y}{Y}\times100)-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{\Delta\rho}{\rho}\times100)\) \(=\frac{1}{2}\times1-\frac{1}{2}\times0.5\) \(\frac{\Delta V}{V}\times100=\frac{1}{4}\)…
