Expert Answer
Velocity of sound v in a gaseous medium is related to Bulk modulus B and density ρ .
Velocity of sound v is given as
.................................(1)
Bulk modulus B is given as
..............................(2)
When sund waves is propagated in a gaseous medium, compression and rarefaction processes are fast ,
hence we can assume adiabatic condition for change in pressure and volume.
For adiabatic process, we have , where C is constant and γ is ratio of specific heat.
Hence we get
Hence from eqn.(2) , we get , ....................(3)
Density ..........................(4)
where n is number of moles in a volume V and M is molar mass of gas.
Using eqn.(3) and eqn.(4) , we rewrite eqn.(1) as
In above expression, we have used ideal gas equation , pV = ( n R T )
