Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends

A

directly proportional to the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.

B

inversely proportional to the bulk modulus of the medium.

C

directly proportional to the density of the medium

D

inversely proportional to the density of the medium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Speed of sound wave in a fluid is
`v=sqrt(B/rho)`
where B is the bulk modulus and `rho` is the the density of the medium.
