Calculate the velocity of sound in a mix...

Calculate the velocity of sound in a mixture of two gases obtained by mixing `V_(1)` and `V_(2)` volumes of them if the velocity of sound in them be `C_(1)` and `C_(2)`. The atomicity of the gases is the same.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`C_(mix)=C_(1)C_(2)sqrt((V_(1)+V_(2))/(V_(1)C_(2)^(2)+V_(2)C_(1)^(2)))`
