If 'v' is the velocity of sound in a gas , then 'v' is directly proportional to (here M , d and T represents molecular weight of gas , density of gas and its temperature , respectively.)

A

`sqrtM`

B

`(1)/(sqrtd)`

C

`sqrtT`

D

both (b) and (c)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

If v is the velocity of sound in a gas, then it is directly proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature of gas and inversely proportional to square root of its mass and density .
