The velocity of a sound wave at 27oC is 360ms-1. Its velocity at 127oC is
-
A.
120√3 ms-1
-
B.
240 ms-1
-
C.
240√3 ms-1
-
D.
720√3 ms-1
Correct Answer: Option 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
