Speed of sound wave in air

Two monoatomic ideal gases 1 and 2 of molecular masses M_1 and M_2 respectively are enclosed in separate containers kept at the same temperature. The ratio of the speed of sound in gas 1 to that in gas 2 is given by

At a temperature of 314 K and a pressure of 100 kPa, the speed of sound in a gas is 1380 ms^(-1) . The radius of each gas molecule is 0.5 overset @A . The frequency of sound at which the wavelength of sound wave in the gas becomes equal to the mean free path of the gas molecules is (Boltzman Constant =1.38 xx 10^(-23) JK^(-1)

A sound wave has wavelength 0.86m and speed 344 m//s in air. If its wavelength in a gas is 0.82m, find the speed of sound in the gas.

The ratio of the speed of sound in nitrogen gas to that in helium gas, at 300 K is

Assertion: The change in air pressure affects the speed of sound. Reason: The speed of sound in gases is proportional to the square of pressure.

A sound wave has wavelength 0.87m in air and 0.88m in a gas. The speed of sound in air is 348m//s . Find the frequency of sound and the speed of sound in the gas.

Solve the following example: A sound wave has wavelength 0.85 m in air and 0.9 m in a gas. The speed of sound in air is 340 m//s . Find the frequency of sound and the speed of sound in the gas.

With the rise of temperature, the speed of sound in a gas
