What is the speed of sound at a temperature

of 56°C?

A: 316 meters/second

B: 331 meters/second

C: 365 meters/second

D: 373 meters/second

Verified Answer :

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Speed of sound is directly related to the temperature.

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given by the equation:

\(\text{Speed of sound}=331.5+0.60T(^oC)\)

where, T = absolute temperature

Putting T = 56°C in above equation, we get:

\(\text{Speed of sound}=331.5+0.60\times 56=365.1m/s\)

Hence, the correct option is Option C.
