Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends upon
Speed of sound waves in a fluid depends upon

a) directly on the density of the medium

b) square of bulk modulus of the medium

c) inversely on the square root of density

d) directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium

Answer:

The correct options are

c) inversely on the square root of density

d) directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium

Explanation:

The speed of sound waves in a fluid is given by:

    \[\nu =\sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho }}\]

where  represents the bulk modulus and denotes the density
