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.
