Solution

The correct option is C is independent of the variation in pressure
$p v^{r} = c o n s t a n t$
With change in pressure volume changes but velocity remains same as per Laplace correction of adiabatic conditions.

Which of the following are true?

Q. Assertion - Variation in air pressure do not affect the speed of sound when temperature remains constant.
Reason - Speed of sound is directly proportional to square root of pressure.

Q. Assertion :The change in air pressure affects the speed of sound. Reason: The speed of sound increases is proportional to the square of pressure.

Use the formula $v = \sqrt{\frac{γ P}{ρ}}$ to explain why the speed of sound in air is independent of pressure, increases with temperature, increases with humidity.

Q. Assertion :Speed of sound in gases is independent of pressure of gas. Reason: With increase in temperature of gas speed of sound will increase.
