Speed of sound waves in air

A

is independent of temperature

B

increases with pressure

C

increases with increase in humidity

D

decreases with increase in humidity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(V_(1))/(V_(2))-sqrt((rho_(2))/(rho_(1)))impliesrho_(2) lt rho_(1)implies(V_(2))/(V_(1)) gt 1impliesV_(2) gt V_(1)`
