Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends

A

directly on density of the medium

B

square of bulk modulus of the medium

C

inversely on the square roots of density

D

directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D

Velocity of sound waves in a fluid is
`upsilon = sqrt((K)/(rho)) i.e. v prop sqrt(K) and v prop (1)/(sqrt(rho))`
The correct options are (c) and (d).
