Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, in which of the following gases the velocity of sound will be largest?

A

`H_(2)`

B

`N_(2)`

C

`He`

D

`CO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The speed of sound in air is `v=sqrt((gammaRT)/(M))`
`(gamma)/(M)` of `H_2` is least, hence speed of sound in `H_2` shall be maximum.
