Question
Two monoatomic ideal gases 1 and 2 of molecular masses m1 and m2 respectively are enclosed in separate containers kept at the same temperature. The ratio of the speed of sound in gas 1 to the gas 2 is given by
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
Speed of sound in a gas given by
v =
, v ∝ 
∴
Here, γ =
for both the gases 
v =
, v ∝ ∴
