    A balloon is filled with hydrogen. For sound waves, this balloon behaves like

    A)  a converging lens

    B)  a diverging lens

    C)  a concave mirror

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     As density of hydrogen is less than density of air, velocity of sound in hydrogen is greater than velocity of sound in air. Therefore, hydrogen acts as a rarer medium and the balloon behaves as a diverging lens.
