Propagation of a sound wave in a gas is ...

Propagation of a sound wave in a gas is quite close to

A

an isothermal process

B

an adiabatic process

C

an siobaric process

D

A process that does not exhibit properties close to any of three given in `(A),(B),(C )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sound waves propagate so fast in a gas that there is no time for the exchange of energy with the medium `(` gas `)`.
Hence, it is quite close to an adiabatic process. Hence `(B)`
