Estimate the speed of sound in air at standard temperature and pressure. The mass of 1 mole of air is `29.0xx10^(-3)kg`, `lambda` for air `=7//5`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the speed of sound in air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), we can use the formula for the speed of sound: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\lambda P}{\rho}} \] Where: - \( V \) is the speed of sound, - \( \lambda \) is the ratio of specific heats (given as \( \frac{7}{5} \)), - \( P \) is the pressure, ...
