The velocity of sound is $v_s$ in air. If the density of air is increased to $4$ times,then the new velocity of sound will be

  • A
    $\frac{v_s}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_s}{12}$
  • C
    $12v_s$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}v_s^2$

The enclosed air inside a closed box of rigid walls has pressure $P_1$. The density of air inside this box is constant. On heating the gas, the pressure of the enclosed air is increased from $P_1$ to $P_2$. Now it is observed that the sound travels $1.4$ times faster than at pressure $P_1$. The ratio $P_2/P_1$ is:

$A$ source of sound $S$ having frequency $f$. Wind is blowing from source to observer $O$ with velocity $u$. If the speed of sound with respect to air is $C$,the wavelength of sound detected by $O$ is:

$A$ plane sound wave passes from medium $1$ into medium $2$. The speed of sound in medium $1$ is $200 \, m/s$ and in medium $2$ is $100 \, m/s$. The ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave to that of the incident wave is:
