    Velocity of sound in air is  [Pb. PMT 1999; UPSEAT 2000]

    A)            Faster in dry air than in moist air

    B)            Directly proportional to pressure

    C)            Directly proportional to temperature

    D)            Independent of pressure of air 

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma \,P}{\rho }}\]; as P changes, r also changes. Hence \[\frac{P}{\rho }\] remains constant so speed remains constant.
