Section D
Q.29 Sound travels through a gas in the form of compressions and rarefactions. Newton
assumed that the changes in pressure and volume of gas, when sound waves are
propagated through it, are isothermal. The amount of heat produced during compression,
is lost to the surrounding and similarly the amount of heat lost during rarefaction is
gained from the surroundings. So as to keep the Isothermal clasticity. Laplace, a french
mathematician pointed out that Newton’s assumption was wrong. According to Laplace,
the changes in pressure and volume of a gas, when sound waves propagated through it,
are not isothermal but adiabatic. [4]
Based on the above information, answer the following:

iv) If tension of a wire is increased to four times, the wave speed changes
a) halved b) doubled c) tripled d) quadrupled
v) Propagation of sound in air is _____________ process.
a) adiabatic b) isochoric c) isothermal d) isobaric
Q.30 Thermodynamics is the study of transformation of heat into other forms of energy and
vice-versa. Thermodynamical system is said to be in equilibrium when macroscopic
variables like pressure. volume, temperature, mass, composition etc. that characterise the
system variables which are not necessarily independent. Some important thermodynamic
processes are: Isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, and isochoric. A thermodynamic state is
represented by equation of state that represents the connection between the state
variables of a system. [4]
