The speed of sound in oxygen is 332 m/s ...

The speed of sound in oxygen is 332 m/s at STP. The speed of sound in hydrogen at STP will be …………..

A

53/2 m/s

B

2546 m/s

C

1328 m/s

D

664 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`v = sqrt((gamma RT)/(M))`
`gamma` is same for both the gases , so , `(v_(H_(2)))/(v_(O_(2))) = sqrt((32)/(2)) = 4`
`implies f_(H_(2)) = 4 xx 332 = 1328` m/s
