Detailed Solution

According to Laplace when sound propagate in a gaseous medium the compressions and rarefactions are formed periodically at a very high speed. Some heat is produced at the places of compressions and some heat is lost at the places of rarefactions, but there is no transfer of heat between the compressions and rarefactions in the gaseous medium.
