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:

What is the distance between consecutive condensation and rarefaction in longitudinal waves?

Derive the expression for the speed of a sound wave and obtain the equations for the speed of sound in different media.

At what temperature (in $^\circ C$) will the speed of sound in air be $3$ times its value at $0^\circ C$ (in $^\circ C$)?
