What is dynamic temperature?
Consider a tube that has a length of 100m. The tube is filled with hydrogen at a temperature of 483 K. When a sound wave is generated at one end of the tube, how many seconds may it take for the wave to reach the other end? Do not include the units in the answer box and provide your answer to three significant digits. Assume hydrogen as a perfect gas with k-1.4 and R=5164 J kgK-1
In which medium will sound travel fastest for a given temperature: air, helium, or argon?
