I assume you mean: Does sound waves travels faster in water opposed to air.
Yes, yes it does, because sound waves travels by pushing a molecule into another molecule and so forth. The difference between water and air is simply, that the molecules are closer in water, in that way the molecule doesn't have to travel so long before passing on the momentum. That's why the sound can travel both faster and longer in water, whales among others benefit from this, as it enables them to communicate over long distances.
What else can I help you with?
Why does sound travel quickly in gas?
Sound actually travels faster in liquids like water and much faster in metals like steel than it does in gases. Consider why this might be.
What type of waves travel through liquids fastest?
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
Does sound travel faster through water than air?
yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum
Can sound waves pass throug liquids?
Yes, because sound is the result of the vibration of molecules. Liquids have molecules so the sound can travel through it. Next time you're in a pool, scream as loud as you can under water while somebody else is in the water at the other end.
Does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids?
Yes, sound travel faster in solid than in liquid b'coz the molecules of solid are closely packed. speed of sound in steel is 5100 m/s while in water is 1450 m/s.
Why does sound travel faster in stone and water than in air?
Sound travels faster in solids and liquids such as stone and water compared to air because the particles in solids and liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through the denser medium. In air, the particles are more spread out, causing sound waves to travel at a slower pace due to the lower density of air molecules.
Does sound travel faster in the air or water?
Sound travels faster in water thanin air.
Why does sound travel faster in a solid than in a gas or water?
Sound travels faster in solids because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing for faster transmission of the sound waves through the medium. In gases and liquids, the particles are further apart, causing the sound waves to travel more slowly due to the increased distance between particles that the waves must travel through.
Sound travels faster through what?
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
Does sound travel faster in sea water or air?
it travels faster in water
Is water the material that sound travels fastest in?
no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.
Does empty space make sound travel fastest?
Sound waves need a medium (such as air, water, metal and other materials) to travel through. Sound waves travel by slightly displacing the atoms from their original position as it moves. With empty space (no atoms) the sound waves cannot travel at all. In general, sound travels slower in gasses, then faster in liquids, and even faster in solids. Each substance is different, though.
