A man sets his watch by the sound of a siren placed at a distance 1 km away. If the velocity of sound is 330 m/s
1. His watch is set 3 sec. faster
2. His watch is set 3 sec. slower
3. His watch is set correctly
4. None of the above
The velocity of sound in air is:
1. | faster in dry air than in moist air. |
2. | directly proportional to the pressure. |
