- 1. The velocity of sound in air is doubled when the temperature is raised from \(0^{\circ} C\) to \(\alpha^{\circ} C\). The value of \(\alpha\) is ________. 2026 Medium
- 2. Consider the sound wave travelling in ideal gases of \(\mathrm{He}, \mathrm{CH}_4\), and \(\mathrm{CO}_2\). All the gases have the same ratio \(\frac{P}{\rho}\), where \(P\) is the pressure and \(\rho\) is the density. The ratio of the speed of sound through the gases \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{He}}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CH}_4}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CO}_2}\) is given by 2025 Medium
- 3. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason \(\mathbf{R}\)
Assertion A: A sound wave has higher speed in solids than gases.
Reason R: Gases have higher value of Bulk modulus than solids.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below 2025 Easy - 4. The speed of sound in oxygen at \(S.T.P. \)will be approximately _______. (Given, \(\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{JK}^{-1}, \gamma=1.4\) ) 2024 Easy
- 5. The ratio of speed of sound in hydrogen gas to the speed of sound in oxygen gas at the same temperature is 2023 Easy
- 6. Assume that the displacement\((s)\) of air is proportional to the pressure difference \((\Delta p)\) created by a sound wave. Displacement\((s)\) further depends on the speed of sound \((v),\) density of air \((\rho)\) and the frequency \((f)\) If \(\Delta p \approx 10\, Pa , v \approx 300\, m / s , p \approx 1\, kg / m ^{3}\) and \(f \approx 1000 \,Hz\), then \(s\) will be the order of (take multiplicative constant to be \(1\) ) 2020 Easy
- 7. The pressure wave, \(P = 0.01\,sin\,[1000t -3x]\,Nm^{-2},\) corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is \(0\,^oC.\) On some other day when temperature is \(T,\) the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be \(336 \,ms^{-1}\). Approximate value of \(T\) is .... \(^oC\) 2019 Medium
