JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

The speed of sound in oxygen at \(S.T.P. \)will be approximately _______. (Given, \(\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{JK}^{-1}, \gamma=1.4\) )

  1. A \(310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(333 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(341 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(325 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.4 \times 8.3 \times 273}{32 \times 10^{-3}}}\) \(=314.8541 \simeq 315 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
