(c) The speed of sound c, at any given position inside the star can be expressed as c = yP/p, where y is the ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and volume. Show that the speed of sound at r = ro in this particular star is S. 37GM(To) Cs = where M(ro) is the mass of the star interior to r = ro. Will the speed of sound increase or decrease closer to the centre?

Calculate the first overtone in an ear canal, which resonates like a 2.40-cm-long tube closed at one end, by taking air temperature to be 37.0°C . Is the ear particularly sensitive to such a frequency? (The resonances of the ear canal are complicated by its nonuniform shape, which we shall ignore.)
