The density of oxygen is 16 times the density of hydrogen. What is the relation between the speeds of sound in two gases?

Explanation

To find the relation between the speeds of sound in oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen (H₂), we can use the formula for the speed of sound in a gas, which is given by:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}} \]

where:
- \( V \) is the speed of sound,
- \( \gamma \) is the adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats),
- \( P \) is the pressure,
