- Table 17.1 shows the speed of sound is typically an order of magnitude larger in solids than in gases. To what can this higher value be most directly attributed? (a) the difference in density between solids and gases (b) the difference in compressibility between solids and gases (c) the limited size of a solid object compared to a free gas (d) the impossibility of holding a gas under significant tensionarrow_forwardQ.2: Calculate the difference in the speeds of sound in air at -3°C, 60 cm pressure of mercury and 30°C, 75 cm pressure of mercury. The speed of sound in air at 0°C is 332 m/s.arrow_forwardProve that the speed of sound in air is given by T v = 331m/s 273K Where y 1.4, M 0.02897 kg/mol, and R 8.31 J/mol and T is the temperature. %3Darrow_forward

- Notice from Table that (a) water and mercury and(b) aluminum and steel have nearly the same speeds ofsound, yet the second of each pair of materials is muchdenser. Can you account for this oddity? Can moleculartheory explain it?arrow_forwardA vessel of volume V contains 8 gm of H₂ at temperature T = 37°C. 25% of the total molecules get dissociated when the temperature is increased to 207°C. Find the factor f by which the velocity of sound 10 gets changed inside the vessel. Fill farrow_forwardOn a hot summer day, the temperature of air in Arizona reaches 121°F. What is the speed of sound in air at this temperature? (The speed of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s. Use the conversion 0°C = 273 K as necessary.)arrow_forward
