Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends

A

directly on density of the medium

B

square of Bulk modulus of the medium

C

inversly on the square root of density

D

directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
Speed of sound waves in a fluid is given by
`v=sqrt((B)/(rho))`, where B is Bulk modulus and `rho` is density of the medium.
Clearly, `" " Vprop(1)/(sqrt(rho))" "` [ `:.` for any B,=constant]
and `" " Vpropsqrt(B)" "` [ `:.` medium, `rho` = constant ]
