Statement – 1: Newton’s equation for speed of sound in air was found wrong because, he assumed process as isothermal
Statement – 2: Flow of sound wave in a medium is very fast. Quick process suppress heat exchange, hence this process must be adiabatic in nature.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement – 1 is true, Statement – 2 is true; Statement – 2 is a correct explanation for Statement – 1

Option A (Statement – 1 is true, Statement – 2 is true; Statement – 2 is a correct explanation for Statement – 1) is correct because Newton's isothermal assumption was incorrect, and the adiabatic process better describes sound wave propagation due to the speed of the process.
