Speed of sound wave in a fluid depends upon………..

Options

A. directly on density of the medium.
B. square of Bulk modulus of the medium.
C. inversely on the square root of density.
D. directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.

Answer

C, D

Explanation

Speed of sound in liquid is given by `v = sqrt ((B)/(rho))`
(where B = Bulk modulus, `rho=` density of medium)
`implies v prop sqrtB implies` Option (D) is true.
`therefore v prop (1)/(sqrt rho)implies` Option © is true.
