Sound can travel better through denser objects, so since stone is denser than water and air, sound can travel faster through it.
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.
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster. +++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.
In fresh water, sound travels at about 1497 m/s at 25 °C.
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
Not the speed of sound.
Yes.

Speed of sound in water is faster than in air. Speed of sound in steel is c = 5930 m/s. That is faster than in air and in water. Speed of sound in water is c = 1480 m/s. It is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Speed of sound in air is c = 343 m/s at 20°C = 68°F. The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).

Much of the sound will be reflected (the amount reflected will depend on the angle of incidence). If the angle of incidence is low enough, the sound will be completely reflected. The portion which is transmitted into the water, if any, will be refracted because of the difference in the speed of sound between air and water. Since the speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air, the sound will be refracted toward the surface of the water. Note that this is the opposite of what happens with light which has a slower speed in water than in air and is refracted away from the surface of the water.
The speed of sound is proportional to the density of the substance it's traveling through. Typically 'colder' water is more dense than 'hotter' water, and therefore sound would travel at a greater speed through colder water. However, there is a point right above the freezing temperature for water in which a decrease in temperature would cause a decrease in density due to the polar molecule behavior of water. Talking about the velocity of sound is a bit pointless, as it doesn't typically have a 'direction.'
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s.
No, it is not.
