The compression and rarefaction associated with a sound wave propogaling in a gas are so much faster than the flow ol heat in the gas that they can be treated as adiabatic processes.
a)Find the speed of sound, νs, in an ideal gas of molar mass M.
b)In accord with Einstein's refinement of Newtonian mechanics, νs cannot exceed the speed of light in vacuum, c. This fact implies a maximum temperature for an ideal gas. Find this temperature.
c) Evaluate the maximum temperature of part (b) for monatomic hydrogen gas (H).
d) What happens to the hydrogen at this maximum temperature?
