What is the approximate speed of sound in distilled water at `25^(@)C(77^(@)F)` ?

A

1498 m/s

B

1284 m/s

C

3980 m/s

D

1598 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The speed of sound in a medium can be determined by the equation: `v=(Kp)^(-1//2)`
Where v = speed o f sound, K = compressibility and p = density. Speed of sound in air = 343m/s Speed of sound in water (at normal temperature and pressure) = 1498m/s Speed of sound in solid = 5000m/s
