Question

Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends upon

• A. square of Bulk modulus of the medium.
• B. directly on density of the medium.
• C. directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.
• D. inversely on the square root of density

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

inversely on the square root of density

Speed of sound in fluid is given by

$V=\sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho }}$

Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends upon inversely on the square root of density and directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.

Final Answer: (c),(d)
