At what temperature is the speed of sound in helium (ideal gas, = 1.67, atomic mass = 4.003 u) the same as its speed in oxygen gas at 5.40 oC? The speed of sound in oxygen at 5.40°C is 318 m/s.
A crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one end. If the tube is 0.260 m long, by taking air temperature to be 37.0∘C? What would this frequency become if the person's breathing passage were filled with hydrogen instead of air? Assume the same temperature dependence for hydrogen as for air.
A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 81.8 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 41.8 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.
What is the ratio of the velocity of sounds in helium gas to that in air at the same pressure and temperature? (Specific heat of helium is 1.66, molar mass of air is 0.029 kg/mol, molar mass of helium is 0.004 kg/mol)
