    The velocity of sound at \[0{}^\circ C\] is 332 m/s. At what temperature will it be 664 m/s?

    A) \[273{}^\circ C\]              

    B)        \[546{}^\circ C\]                              

    C)  \[1092{}^\circ C\]           

    D)        \[819{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Velocity of sound in gas medium is given by \[v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}\] or            \[v\propto \sqrt{T}\] or            \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] Here,\[{{v}_{1}}=332\,m/s,\,{{T}_{1}}=0+273=273\,K,\]                 \[{{v}_{2}}=664\,m/s\] Hence,                  \[\frac{332}{664}=\sqrt{\frac{273}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] or            \[\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{273}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}=4\times 273=1092\,K\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}=1092-273=819{{\,}^{o}}C\]
