Why are the speeds of longitudinal and transverse waves in a solid different? Explain.

Estimate the speed of sound (in $m/s$) in air at standard temperature and pressure $(STP)$. The mass of $1$ mole of air is $29.0 \times 10^{-3} \; kg$.

The speed of sound in air is independent of its:

The following phenomenon cannot be observed for sound waves:

$A$ person standing on an open ground hears the sound of a jet aeroplane coming from the north at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the ground level. However,he finds the aeroplane right vertically above his position. If $\upsilon$ is the speed of sound,what is the speed of the plane?

Match the following:

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Transverse wave through a steel rod	$(i)$ $\sqrt{B + \frac{4}{3} \frac{\eta}{\rho}}$
$(b)$ Longitudinal waves in earth's crust	$(ii)$ $\sqrt{\frac{\eta}{\rho}}$
$(c)$ Longitudinal waves through a steel rod	$(iii)$ $\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi T}{g \lambda}}$
$(d)$ Ripples	$(iv)$ $\sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}$
