Question

If the velocity of sound in hydrogen is 1248 m/s then find the velocity of sound in oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

which velocity you are asking ? Is it critical velocity or particle velocity?

Answer 2

Answer:

312 m/s

Explanation:

Density of oxygen is equal to 16 times of density of hydrogen

Formula:

Velocity of sound =√(gama P/density)

So both having different velocities

Vh/Vo=√density of oxygen /density of hydrogen

Vh/Vo=√16*density of hydrogen/density of hydrogen

Vh/Vo=4

Given Vh=1248m/s

So 1248/4=Vo

Vo=312m/s
