To solve the problem of calculating the temperature at which sound travels in hydrogen with the same speed as in helium at normal temperature and pressure (N.T.P.), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between speed of sound, temperature, and density The speed of sound \( v \) in a gas can be expressed as: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho}} \] where \( P \) is the pressure and \( \rho \) is the density of the gas. At N.T.P., the pressure is constant, so we can relate the speeds of sound in hydrogen and helium using their densities and the temperatures. ...
