Calculate the speed of sound in hydrogen at N.T.P., if density of hydrogen at N.T.P. is `1//16^(th)` of air. Given that the speed of sound in air is 332 m/s.

Explanation

To calculate the speed of sound in hydrogen at Normal Temperature and Pressure (N.T.P.), we can use the relationship between the speed of sound, density, and pressure. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Understand the relationship
The speed of sound in a medium is given by the formula:
\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}} \]
where \( V \) is the speed of sound, \( \gamma \) is the adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats), \( P \) is the pressure, and \( \rho \) is the density of the medium.
