D
All of the above
d Velocity of sound and air is given by,
$v _{\text {air }}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma_{\text {air }} R T}{ M }}$ (option 'A' and 'B' are not true for sound of velocity in air)
$v_{\text {wzeter }}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma_{\text {water }}}{\rho}}$ (option ' $C$ ' and ' $D$ ' are not true for sound of velocity in air as air has more weight than moist air for same density of molecules) All are wrong.

A standing wave pattern is formed on a string. One of the waves is given by equation ${y_1} = a\,\cos \,\left( {\omega t - kx + \pi /3} \right)$ then the equation of the other wave such that at $x = 0$ a node is formed
Find the frequency of minimum distance between compression & rarefaction of a wire. If the length of the wire is $1m$ & velocity of sound in air is $360\, m/s$ .... $sec^{-1}$
An organ pipe filled with a gas at $27^{\circ}\,C$ resonates at $400\,Hz$ in its fundamental mode. If it is filled with the same gas at $90^{\circ}\,C$, the resonance frequency at the same mode will be $...........\,Hz$
Two tuning forks have frequencies $450\, Hz$ and $454\, Hz$ respectively. On sounding these forks together, the time interval between successive maximum intensities will be .... $sec$
A small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing on $O$. Let ${n_1},\;{n_2}$ and ${n_3}$be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A,\,B$ and $C$ respectively. Then
