Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?
No, it is not.
Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same
How does sound travel in solids?
The exact same way it travels in air or any other medium. By propagation - from one atom to the other.However the Speed of propagation (speed of Sound) will be very different depending on the composition of the solid. It tends to speed up in a solid vs air.
What is the value of velocity of ultrasonic sound in water?
It should be about the same as the speed of normal sound. The speed of sound varies a bit, depending on the frequency, but usually that is not much.
Do speed and them have the same vowel sound?
No, "speed" and "them" do not have the same vowel sound. In "speed," the vowel sound is /iː/, whereas in "them," the vowel sound is /ɛ/.
What changes in sound when it enters from air to water?
the frequency remains the same as sound enters in water, actually speed of sound increases 3 times when it enters in the water. Jayant Sagar
Is it true that sound travels at the same speed as light?
The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second.
How fast can sound travel thought human muscle?
About the same speed as through water (about 3300 mph).
How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?
For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.
How does sound travels through liquid?
Sound travels through liquid the same way it travels through air. It sets up pressure waves that travel through the water, just like they do in air. One big difference is that the speed of sound in water is much faster than in air, but the philosophy is the same.
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
What is the speed of sound that hurts humans?
The speed of all sounds is the same in the same medium.
