While discussing the propagation of sound through atmospheric air,one argued that the velocity of sound is 280 ms^(-1) and said that he calculated it using Newton's formula.But another learner argued that velocity of sound is 330 ms^(-1) .He justified his arguement by saying that he has applied Laplace corrected formula. Using the above relation,show that velocity depends on temperature and humidity while is independent of pressure.
