The velocities of sound at the same pressure in two monatomic gases of densities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. ${\rho _1}/{\rho _2} = 2$, then the value of $\frac{{{v_1}}}{{{v_2}}}$ is

  • A

    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

  • B

    $2$

  • C

    $\frac{1}{2}$

  • D

    None of these
