    At what temperature, the speed of sound in air will become double of its value at \[27{}^\circ C\]?

    A) \[54{}^\circ C\]                        

    B) \[627{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[327{}^\circ C\]                     

    D) \[927{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The speed of sound is given by \[v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}\]where \[\gamma \] is ratio of specific heats, R the gas constant, T the temperature, M the molecular weight. Given,   \[{{v}_{2}}=2\,{{v}_{1}}\],                 \[{{T}_{1}}={{27}^{o}}C=273+27=300\,K\], \[\therefore \]  \[{{T}_{1}}=\left( \frac{2\,{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{1}}} \right)\times 300=1200\,K\] In centigrade                 \[{{T}_{2}}=1200-273={{927}^{o}}C\]
