Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?
In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.
The speed in water is less than or greater than the speed of sound of air?
The speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air . For example, at 20 °C and 1 ATM pressure, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and its speed in water is 1482 m/s. In general, the speed of sound in a medium = (bulk modulus of the medium/ its density)^0.5 where the bulk modulus indicates how compressible the medium is; the greater the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the medium is. So, although water has a density much greater than that of air, water is also much more incompressible than air. When you solve for the speed of sound for both water and air using the above formula, you will find that it is greater in water.
What happen to the speed of sound as it moves from water to air?
It will slow - sound moves faster in water than in air.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Which material has more sound speed fresh water or seawater explain?
Fresh water has more sound speed. Spongy water is what slows down speed of water.
Speed of sound in fresh water?
the speed of sound of water at 25 degrees centigrade is 1497 m/s.
What is speed of sound in water?
In fresh water, sound travels at about 1497 m/s at 25 °C.
How quick does sound travel on water?
Sound travels at the speed of 1,481.99 meters per second in fresh water.
How much faster does sound travel through sea water than through fresh water?
Speed of sound in sea water = 1531 m/s Speed of sound in fresh water= 1498m/s this is due to the salinity of the substance Speed of sound increases with temperature and salinity of the medium! hope you got it Pls mail Mubashir97xp@gmail.com
What is the wavelength of sound waves with frequency 510Hz while traveling in fresh water?
The speed of sound in fresh water is approx 1,500 metres per second. So wavelength = speed/frequency = 2.94 metres.
What are three factors that affect the speed of sound in water?
depth, current, temperature, consistency (salt or fresh)
Does sound travels faster in fresh water air steelor the same speed in all of the above?
sound travel faster in air then in any other
If the wavelength of a 4.80 102 Hz sound in freshwater is 3.10 m what is the speed of sound in fresh water?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (480 Hz) x (3.1 m) = 1,488 meters/sec.(About 4.3 times the speed of sound in air !)
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound in water never changing?
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
How deep is the sound of speed in ocean water?
The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s.
