- AFaster in dry air than in moist air
- BDirectly proportional to pressure
- CDirectly proportional to temperature
- ✓Independent of pressure of air
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Independent of pressure of air
(d) $v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}}$; as $P$ changes, $\rho$ also changes. Hence $\frac{P}{\rho}$ remains constant so speed remains constant.
