Question

If v stands for velocity of sound, E is elasticity and d the density, then find x in the equation ν = (d/E)ˣ
Options
A 1
B 1/2
C 2
D -1/2
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The velocity of sound in a medium is given by v = √(E/d) = (E/d)¹/² = (d/E)⁻¹/². Therefore, x = -1/2.

Hint

Recall the formula for the speed of sound in a medium: v = √(E/ρ).
