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
    $2.5$
  • B
    $1.96$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $4$

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 .... $^oC$
