The velocity of a sound wave at 27oC is 360ms-1. Its velocity at 127oC is
- 120√3 ms-1
- 240 ms-1
-
240√3 ms-1
- 720√3 ms-1
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Velocity \(\alpha \sqrt{temperature}\)\(\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}\)
therefore, \(\frac{360}{V_2} = \sqrt{\frac{27 + 273}{127 + 273}}\)
\(V_2 = 240\sqrt{3}\)m/s
