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


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 "theme" have the same sound (long E or EE). The words "sped" and "them" have the same sound (short E).


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.


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.


What is the following true of sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. The speed of sound waves varies depending on the medium they travel through. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they move in the same direction as the vibration of particles in the medium that carries the sound.


How fast can sound travel thought human muscle?

About the same speed as through water (about 3300 mph).


What changes in sound when it enters from air to water?

When sound enters water from air, its speed increases and it travels faster due to water being a denser medium. The sound waves may also be amplified and travel over longer distances underwater compared to in air. Additionally, the pitch of the sound may seem slightly higher in water due to the change in speed.


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.
