The speed of sound in hydrogen is `1270 ms^(-1)` at temperature T. the speed at the same T in a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen mixed in a volume ratio 1:4 will be ?
A. 520 m/s
B. 585 m/s
C. 615 m/s
D. 635 m/s
A. 520 m/s
B. 585 m/s
C. 615 m/s
D. 635 m/s
Correct Answer – D
`1270=sqrt((gammaP)/(rho))`
Now, density becomes `4 rho`.
So, `sqrt((gammaP)/(4rho))=sqrt((rP)/(rho))xx1/2=1/2xx1270=635 m//s`
