A student forgot Newton's formula for speed of sound but he knows there were speed `(upsilon)` pressure (p) and density (d) in the formula. He then starts using dimensional analysis method to find the actual relation. `upsilon = kp^(x)d^(y)`. Where k is a dimensionless constant on the basis of above passage answer the following questions.
If the density will increase the speed of sound will :

A

Increase

B

decrease

C

unchanged

D

none of these

A student forgot Newton's formula for speed of sound but he knows there were speed (upsilon) pressure (p) and density (d) in the formula. He then starts using dimensional analysis method to find the actual relation. upsilon = kp^(x)d^(y) . Where k is a dimensionless constant on the basis of above passage answer the following questions. The value of x is

Use the formula upsilon = sqrt((gamma P )/( rho )) to explain why the speed of sound in air (a) is independent of pressure. (b) increases with temperature. (c ) increases with humidity.
