A wave goes through air with a velocity of 7.4 × 10^7ms-1. Find the velocity of the wave if the temperature of the air is reduced by a factor of 3
Answer
Relationship between velocity frequency and temperature is given
v∝ν∝1Tv \propto \nu \propto \frac{1}{T}v∝ν∝T1
v2=v1T1T2=7.4×107T13T1=2.46×107m/sv_2=v_1 \frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{ 7.4 × 10^7 T_1}{3T_1}\\=2.46× 10^7 m/sv2=v1T2T1=3T17.4×107T1=2.46×107m/s
