$A$ hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. What is the wavelength of sound in the tissue in which the speed of sound is $1.7 \; km/s$? The operating frequency of the scanner is $4.2 \; MHz$.

The wavelength of sound waves in hydrogen gas corresponding to the lower limit of audibility is ........ $m$ (speed of sound in hydrogen gas is about $1350 \, m/s$).

What will be the shape of the graph of the speed of sound in air versus pressure at a constant temperature?

The pressure wave,$P = 0.01 \sin(1000t - 3x) \, N m^{-2}$,corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0 \, ^oC$. On some other day when temperature is $T$,the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \, m s^{-1}$. The approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$

The velocities of sound at the same pressure in two monatomic gases of densities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. If ${\rho _1}/{\rho _2} = 2$,then the value of $\frac{{{v_1}}}{{{v_2}}}$ is:
