The molecular weights of helium and oxyg...

The molecular weights of helium and oxygen are 4 and 16 respectively at `27^(@)C`. What will be the ratio of velocity of sound in helium `(gamma = 5//3)` to oxygen `(gamma = (7)/(5))` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the ratio of the velocity of sound in helium to that in oxygen, we will use the formula for the velocity of sound in a gas, which is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \] where: - \( v \) is the velocity of sound, ...
