Speed of Waves question from MHT CET 2021 (24 Sep, Shift 1)

Q24MHT CET 2021 · 24 SEP · SHIFT 1Easy

Speed of Waves

The wavelength of sound in any gas depends upon

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$\lambda = v/f$ and $v = \sqrt{E/\rho}$ depends on the elasticity and density of the gas.
So for a given source, the wavelength in the gas depends on its density and elasticity.
So the answer is (c) density and elasticity of the gas.
