When we inhale helium gas funny sound appear which is due to:

  1. high density of helium than air
  2. low density of air than helium
  3. low density of helium than air
  4. reaction between air and helium

Correct answer: low density of helium than air

Solution

Helium is much less dense than air, so sound travels faster through it and the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract increase. That shifts the voice to a higher pitch, creating the funny sound.
