The ratio of the velocity of sound in Hy...

The ratio of the velocity of sound in Hydrogen gas `(gamma=7/5)` to that in Helium gas `(gamma=5/3)` at the same temperature is `sqrt(21/3)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v_("sound") = sqrt((gamma RT)/(M))`
`(v_(H_(2)))/(v_(He)) = sqrt((gamma_(H_(2))//M_(H_(2))))/(sqrt(gamma _(He)//M_(He))) = sqrt((7//5)//2)/(sqrt((5//3)//4)) =sqrt((42)/(25))`.
