The speed of sound in air at 0°C is 332 m/s. If it increases at the rate of 0.6 m/s per degree, what will be the temperature when the velocity has increased to 344 m/s?

उत्तर
Let the temperature at which the velocity of air becomes 344 m/s be T°C.
The increase in velocity of sound in air from 0°C to T°C = 344 − 332 = 12 m/s
Given,
The velocity of sound in air increases by 0.6 m/s for a 1°C rise in temperature.
Therefore, for a 1 m/s increase in the velocity of sound in air, the temperature should rise by `(1/0.6)^circ`C.
For a 12 m/s increase in the velocity of sound in air, the temperature should rise by:
`12/0.6` = 20°C
Thus, the speed of sound at 20°C will be 344 m/s.
