Which statement about the speed of sound in air is correct? (a) It remains constant provided the pressure of air is kept constant. (b) It decreases by about 0.6 m/s0.6\,\text{m/s} for every 1∘C1^{\circ}\text{C} rise in temperature. (c) It is higher at 30∘C30^{\circ}\text{C} than at 0∘C0^{\circ}\text{C}. (d) It doubles when the temperature is raised from 0∘C0^{\circ}\text{C} to 100∘C100^{\circ}\text{C}.
