Q132 / 150 · MHT CET 2021 (23 Sep Shift 1) · Physics

The wavelength of sound in any gas depends upon

A
intensity of sound waves only
Correct answer
B
density and elasticity of the gas
C
wavelength of sound only
D
amplitude and frequency of sound

Solution

$\mathrm{V}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\rho}} \quad[\mathrm{B}=$ Bulk modulus of elasticity of gas $]$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
