    The ratio of the velocity of sound in hydrogen \[\left( \gamma =\frac{5}{3} \right)\] to that in helium y = - at the same temperature is

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{5}{42}}\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{5}{21}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{42}{5}}\]

    D)  \[\sqrt{\frac{21}{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Velocity of sound in a gas \[v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma p}{d}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{v}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{V}_{He}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{\gamma }_{{{H}_{2}}}}\times {{d}_{He}}}{{{d}_{{{H}_{2}}}}\times {{\gamma }_{He}}}}\] \[\frac{{{H}_{2}}}{He}=\sqrt{\frac{7\times 3\times 2}{5\times 5}}\] As \[\frac{{{v}_{He}}}{{{v}_{He}}}=\frac{\sqrt{42}}{5}\]
