MCQ
The ratio of speed of sound in hydrogen gas to the speed of sound in oxygen gas at the same temperature is
- ✓$4:1$
- B$1:2$
- C$1:4$
- D$1:1$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4:1$
a
$C=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}}$
$C=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}}$
$C \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$
$\frac{C_{H_2}}{C_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}=4: 1$
