STANDARD Physics Speed of Sound MCQ Question
Speed of sound waves in a fluid is
directly proportional to the square root of bulk modulus of the medium.
inversely proportional to the bulk modulus of the medium.
directly proportional to the density of the medium.
inversely proportional to the density of the medium.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Speed of sound wave in a fluid is v = √(B/ρ), where B is the bulk modulus and ρ is the density of the medium. Thus, it is directly proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.
