The Speed V of Sound Waves in a Gas Can

question 15

Short Answer

The speed v of sound waves in a gas can be expressed in terms of the pressure p and the density ρ (mass per unit volume) of the gas, as v = ap^bρ^c, where a, b, and c, are dimensionless constants. The dimensions of pressure are [M]/[L][T]². What must be the values of b and c?
