    The velocity of sound in hydrogen is\[1224\text{ }m/s\]. Its velocity in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen containing 4 parts by volume of hydrogen and 1 part oxygen is   

    A)  \[1224\text{ }m/s~\]

    B)  \[612\text{ }m/s\]

    C) \[2448\text{ }m/s~\]

    D) \[306\text{ }m/s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] If \[{{\rho }_{H}}=1\] then \[{{\rho }_{mix}}=\frac{4\times 1+1\times 16}{(4+1)}=4\] \[\frac{{{v}_{mix}}}{{{v}_{H}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{\rho }_{H}}}{{{\rho }_{mix}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[{{v}_{mix}}=\frac{{{v}_{H}}}{2}=\frac{1224}{2}=612m/s\]
