4.0 gm of gas occupies 22.4 litres at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at a constant volume is 5.0 JK−1mol−1. If the speed of sound in the gas at NTP is 952 ms−1, then the molar heat capacity at constant pressure will be:
(R=8.31 JK−1mol−1)
1. | 8.0 JK−1mol−1 | 2. | 7.5 JK−1mol−1 |
3. | 7.0 JK−1mol−1 | 4. | 8.5 JK−1mol−1 |
Two strings A and B, made of the same material, are stretched by the same tension. The radius of string A is double of the radius of B. A transverse wave that travels on A with a speed vA and on B with a speed vB. The ratio of vAvB is:
1. | 12 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 14 | 4. | 4 |
The speed of sound in air at standard temperature and pressure is:
(Given the mass of 1 mole of air is 29.0×10−3 kg and γ=7/5)
1. 240 m/s
2. 331.5 m/s
3. 384.5 m/s
4. 280 m/s
The speed of sound in a medium depends on:
1. | the elastic property but not the inertial property |
2. | the inertial property but not the elastic property |
3. | both the elastic and inertial properties |
4. | neither the elastic property nor the inertial property |
