Change in temperature of the medium changes

A

frequency of sound waves

B

amplitude of sound waves

C

wavelength of sound waves

D

loundness of sound waves

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since `upsilon prop sqrt(T)`, therefore, as temperature of the medium change, `upsilon` also changes. Also `upsilon = v lambda`. (v of the medium always remains constant). So, with the change in temperature, wavelength of sound wave changes. The correct option is (c).
