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 N.T.P., we can use the relationship between the speed of sound, density, and pressure. The speed of sound in a gas can be expressed as:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma P}{\rho}} \]

Where:
- \( V \) is the speed of sound,
- \( \gamma \) is the adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats),
- \( P \) is the pressure,
