On a winter day sound travels 336 meters in one second. Find the atmosphere temperature. Speed of sound at `0^@C=332ms^-1`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The speed of sound is proportioN/Al to the square root of the absolute temperature.
The speed of sound at `0^@C or 273 K is 332ms^-1`. If the atmosphere is T
`(336ms^-1)/(332ms^-1)=sqrt(T/(273K))`
or `T=(336/332)^2xx273K=280K`
`or t7^@C`

A steel wire has a length of 12.0m and a mass of 2.10kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at 20^(@)C= 343ms^(-1)

Assertion : Compared to winter, sound travels faster in summer. Reason: Speed of sound is proportional to square of absolute temperature of air.
