उत्तर
Number of molecules of helium = 2
Number of molecules of oxygen = 4
When helium and oxygen are mixed, hence the molecular weight of the mixture of gases is given by
`"M"_"mix" = [("n"_1"M"_1 + "n"_2"M"_2)/("n"_1 + "n"_2)]`
`= [(2 xx 4 + 4 xx 32)/(2 + 4)]`kg/mol
`= (8 + 128)/6`
`= 136/6` kg/mol
= 22.6 × 10-3 kg/mol
In addition, helium is monoatomic,
`"C"_("v"_2) = (2"R")/2`
Oxygen is diatomic `"C"_("v"_1) = (5"R")/2`
∴ For the mixture `("C"_"v")_"mix" = ("n"_1"C"_("v"_1) + "n"_2"C"_("v"_2))/("n"_1 + "n"_2)`
`("C"_"v")_"mix" = (2 xx 3/2 "R" + 4 xx 5/2 "R")/(2 + 4) = (13 "R")/6`
From Meyor's relation
`("C"_"p")_"mix" = ("C"_"v")_"mix" + "R"`
`("C"_"p")_"mix" = (13"R")/6 + "R" = (13"R" + "5R")/6 = (19"R")/6`
Ratio of specific heat capacitors of a mixture of gases is
`lambda_"mix" = "C"_"p"/"C"_"v" = ((19"R")/6)/((13"R")/6) = 19/13`
According to Laplace, the speed of sound in a gas is
v = `sqrt((lambda "RT")/("M"))`
v = `sqrt(19/13 xx (8.31 xx 300)/(22.6 xx 10^-3))`
`= sqrt(28420.2/17.68 xx 10^4)`
= 4.009 × 102 m/s
= 400.9 m/s
∴ The speed of sound = 400.9 m/s

In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect?

A ship in a sea sends SONAR waves straight down into the seawater from the bottom of the ship. The signal reflects from the deep bottom bedrock and returns to the ship after 3.5 s. After the ship moves to 100 km it sends another signal which returns back after 2 s. Calculate the depth of the sea in each case and also compute the difference in height between two cases.
