Heya.......!!!

As per as Newton he claims that whenever a sound wave travels through air it undergoes isothermal (( Temprature remains constant ))

Newton's formulae » V = √P/√ ρ
So speed of sound came to be = 280 m/s according to Newton .

BY LAPLACE

Laplace suggested correction in Newton's formulae , whenever sound wave travels through air .» Adiabatic change occurs in the gas

Formulae by him » V = √YP/√ ρ
Here Y = adiabatic constant ( value in air = 1.4 )

so speed of sound came to be accurate i.e » 332 m/s


HOPE IT HELPS U ^_^

Newton assumed that when sound propagates through air, temperature remains constant (i.e. the process is isothermal).

So, bulk modulus of elasticity B = BT = p

(isothermal bulk modulus BT of a gas is equal to its pressure).

Therefore at NTP
p = 1.01 × 105 N/m2 and ρ = 1.3 kg/m3


= 279 m/s

The experimental value of v in air is 332 m/s at NTP. This discrepancy was removed by Laplace.

LAPLACE’S CORRECTION :

Laplace assumed that the propagation of sound in air is an adiabatic process not the isothermal.

B = Bs = γP [Adiabatic bulk modulus Bsof a gas = γP]

Where γ = Cp/Cv = 1.41 for air


Which is in agreement with the experimental value (332 m/s) thus,

We can conclude that sound waves propagate through gases adiabatically
