Question
The velocities of sound at the same temprature in two monatomic gases of densities ρ1 and ρ2 are v1 and v2 respectively. If ρ1/ρ2 = 4, Then the value of v1 /v2 is
Options
A.4
B.2
C.

D.

Solution
For velocity of sound in gas
v =
[Pis pressure and ρ is dencity of gas, γ is Cp/Cv]
Here, v1 =
and v2 = 

v =

[Pis pressure and ρ is dencity of gas, γ is Cp/Cv]
Here, v1 =
and v2 =
