How long will it take for sound waves to travel the distance `l` between points A and B if the air temperature between them varies linearly from `T_(1)` to `T_(2)`? The velocity of sound at `T_(0)` is `C_(0)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`t=(2l)/C_(0). sqrt(T_(0))/(sqrt(T_(1))+sqrt(T_(2)))`
