Velocity of sound measured at a given temperature in oxygen and hydrogen is in the ratio -

A

`1:4`

B

`4:1`

C

`1:1`

D

`32:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`v=sqrt((gammaRT)/(M))thereforevprop(1)/(sqrt(M))`
`(v_(O))/(v_(H))=sqrt((M_(H))/(M_(O)))=sqrt((2)/(32))=sqrt((1)/(16))implies(v_(O))/(v_(H))=(1)/(4)`
