1. increase by a factor of \(20\).
2. increase by a factor of \(10\).
3. decrease by a factor of \(20\).
4. decrease by a factor of \(10\)

\(4.0~\text{gm}\) of gas occupies \(22.4~\text{litres}\) at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at a constant volume is  \(5.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}.\) If the speed of sound in the gas at NTP is \(952~\text{ms}^{-1},\) then the molar heat capacity at constant pressure will be:
(\(R=8.31~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)

1. \(8.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)  2. \(7.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)
3. \(7.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) 4. \(8.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)

Two strings \(A\) and \(B,\) made of the same material, are stretched by the same tension. The radius of string \(A\) is double of the radius of \(B.\) A transverse wave that travels on \(A\) with a speed \(v_A\) and on \(B\) with a speed \(v_B.\) The ratio of  \(\frac{v_A}{v_B}\) is:

1. \(\frac{1}{2}\) 2. \(2\)
3. \(\frac{1}{4}\) 4. \(4\)
