Consider the sound wave travelling in ideal gases of He,CH4\mathrm{He}, \mathrm{CH}_4He,CH4​, and CO2\mathrm{CO}_2CO2​. All the gases have the same ratio Pρ\frac{P}{\rho}ρP​, where PPP is the pressure and ρ\rhoρ is the density. The ratio of the speed of sound through the gases vHe:vCH4:vCO2\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{He}}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CH}_4}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CO}_2}vHe​:vCH4​​:vCO2​​ is given by
