Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between the speed of sound and the temperature is direct. As the temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases. If the substance is heated up, its molecules moves faster. As a result they collide faster and hence the speed increases. There is a relation between the speed of sound and the temperature i.e.


v=331+0.61T

Hence, this is the required solution.
