MCQ
If $V_m$ is the velocity of sound in moist air, $V_d$ is the velocity of sound in dry air, under identical conditions of pressure and temperature
- ✓$V_m > V_d$
- B$V_m < V_d$
- C$V_m = V_d$
- D$V_mV_d =1$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$V_m > V_d$
a
Since velocity $ \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\rm{density}}} }}$
Since velocity $ \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\rm{density}}} }}$
${\rho _{{\rm{moistai}}}} < {\rho _{{\rm{dryair}}}}$
${V_{{\rm{moistai}}}} > {V_{{\rm{dryair}}}}$
