The speed of sound in gases is represented mathematically as:
v(sound) = √γRT/M
where γ = adiabatic constant which is the ratio of the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume; Cp/Cv
R = gas constant
T = temperature
M = molar mass of the gas
Hence, the speed of sound in gas is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.
Ans: c) temperature
