Question

The velocity of sound in a gas is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the gas taken in degree celsius.

Open in App
Solution

False

The velocity (v) of sound in a gas is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature (T) of the gas taken in Kelvin, and not in celcius.

When T is in Kelvin, v is proportional to T
If T1 and T2 are two different temperatures, and if v1 and v2 are their corresponding velocities, then v1v2=T1T2
