The mechanical vibrations that can be interpreted as sound can travel through all forms of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. However, sound cannot propagate through vacuum. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. The liqid can be water. There the speed of sound is faster than in air. How does sound in air differ from sound in water? http://www.dosits.org/science/ssea/3.htm
sounds are vibrations; they travel thru water like they travel thru air- waves
**Sound travels in mechanical waves. A mechanical wave is a disturbance that moves and transports energy from one place to another through a medium. In sound, the disturbance is a vibrating object. And the medium can be any series of interconnected and interactive particles. This means that sound can travel through gases, liquids and solids.
Sound travels much faster through liquid than it travels through gas, becasue the molecules are much more compact in liquid than gas. This also apllies to solids; sound travels much faster through solids than it does liquid or gas.
Same way as it traverses in air. That is, as longitudinal waves. Compression and rarefaction
Sound waves are the movement of energy
within molecules.
well, I've been told that it travels through water at about 3400mph.
The water makes waves and the hairs sway.
3400mph
Sound waves propagating through the water do.
Sound can travel better through denser objects, so since stone is denser than water and air, sound can travel faster through it.
yes it does. the reason why is because the particles in water are closer together
Sound is simply the vibration of matter so it exists under water, in rocks, and even in lava.
water
water
Sound does travel under water otherwise the Humpback would be wasting its time singing!
Because sound must have a physical medium through which to travel, like air or water water.
The water will reflect some of the sound, and some will travel downward through the water.
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
Sound doesn't travel in heat. It travels in a physical medium.
Water.
Sound travels faster in water thanin air.
through water.,
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air
sound travels farther in water because the water particles are closer together.
