The speed of sound as measured by a student in the laboratory on a winter day is 340 m s−1 when the room temperature is 17∘ C. What speed will be measured by another student repeating the experiment on a day when the room temperature is 32∘ C?
350 m/s
Given at T = 17∘ C or 290 k
Speed was 340 ms
To find speed at T = 32∘ or 305 k
So velocity of sound and Temperature
Gives the relation
v=√γRTM
vα√T
⇒ v1v2=√T1T2
⇒ 340v2=√290305
v2=350ms
