Regarding the speed of sound in a gas, match the following:
$A$. Temperature of gas is made $4$ times and pressure $2$ times$P$. Speed becomes $2\sqrt{2}$ times
$B$. Only pressure is made $4$ times without change in temperature$Q$. Speed becomes $2$ times
$C$. Only temperature is changed to $4$ times$R$. Speed remains unchanged
$D$. Molecular mass of the gas is made $4$ times$S$. Speed becomes half

  • A
    $A-P, B-R, C-Q, D-S$
  • B
    $A-Q, B-S, C-Q, D-S$
  • C
    $A-S, B-R, C-Q, D-S$
  • D
    $A-Q, B-R, C-Q, D-Q$

The mass of one mole of a gas is $22.4 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$ and its specific heat ratio is $1.6$. The speed of sound in the gas at $STP$ is nearly: (in $m/s$)

Mention the audible frequency range for humans.

Assume that the displacement $(s)$ of air is proportional to the pressure difference $(\Delta p)$ created by a sound wave. Displacement $(s)$ further depends on the speed of sound $(v)$,density of air $(\rho)$,and the frequency $(f)$. If $\Delta p \approx 10 \, Pa$,$v \approx 300 \, m/s$,$\rho \approx 1 \, kg/m^3$,and $f \approx 1000 \, Hz$,then $s$ will be of the order of (take multiplicative constant to be $1$).

$Assertion :$ The base of Laplace correction was that exchange of heat between the region of compression and rarefaction in air is negligible.
$Reason :$ Air is a bad conductor of heat and the velocity of sound in air is quite large.
