Problem

Determine the velocity of sound in a nearly homogeneous two-phase system consisting of a vapour with small liquid droplets suspended in it (a ``wet vapour''), or a liquid with small vapour bubbles in it. The wavelength of the sound is supposed large compared with the size of the inhomogeneities in the system.
