The speed of sound in air at temperature \(T\) and pressure \(p\) is \(v\). When the temperature is increased to \(2 T\) and the pressure is reduced to \(\frac{p}{2}\), then the speed is changed to

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{v}\)
  2. B \(v\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2} v\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{2} v\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of sound in air does not depend on pressure, but directly proportional to the root of temperature, i.e. \[ v \propto \sqrt{T} \Rightarrow \frac{v_2}{v_1}=\sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}} \] Given, \(T_1=T\) and \(T_2=2 T\),…
