Question

The speed of sound in air undergoing adiabatic changes is given by, where \(\rho\) is the density of medium and \(E_s\) is adiabatic elasticity:

• A. \(v=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho}{E_s}}\)
• B. \(v=\sqrt{E_s\rho}\)
• C. \(v=\sqrt{\dfrac{E_s}{\rho}}\)
• D. \(v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{E_s\rho}}\)

Hint:

Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of elasticity and inversely proportional to the square root of density.
