A sound wave is passing through air column in the form of compression and rerefactions. In consecutive compressions and rerefactions.

A

density remains contant

B

Boyle's law is obeyed

C

bulk modulus of air oscillates

D

there is no transfer of heat.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
There is no transfer of heat because air is a bad conductor of heat and also time of compression and rarefaction is too small. The correct option is (d).
