Sound travels faster on a rainy day than on a dry day. Does it imply that speed of sound in moist hydrogen is greater than in dry hydrogen ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. This is because density of water vapour is more than that of hydrogen. Therefore, density of moist hydrogen is more than density of dry hydrogen. Therefore, speed of sound in moist hydrogen is less that in dry hydrogen.
