Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?
Not the speed of sound.
The speed of sound in what is greater than the speed of sound in water?
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).
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.
Would sound waves travel faster in water or steel?
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Which medium does sound travel the fastest through air water or steel?
Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. This is because the speed of sound depends on the density and elasticity of the medium, with steel being the most dense and elastic, allowing sound waves to propagate faster.
Speed of sound is maximum in which like in steel or solid and if anything else than please specify?
Speed of sound is maximum in STeel or solid.. if we compare the speed of sound in different mediums like vaccuum,water,solid..we will find it decreases with maximum in soild then liquid and then vaccuum
Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest steel lead water air?
The speed of sound in air ~ 340 m/s in water ~ 1560 m/s in steel ~ 6000 m/s in lead ~ 2000 m/s estimated. Hence, steel is the winner. ==============================
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.
What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?
Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. Steel is denser and allows sound waves to travel faster due to the close packing of atoms. Water is denser than air and also allows sound to travel faster because the molecules are closer together compared to air.
Does sound travel aster in steel or glass?
The speed of sound through glass is 3962 metres per second, which is about 13000 feet per second. In normal air, sound travels at a speed of 343 meters per second and in water the speed is 1,433 metres per second. Sound travels at a speed of 5,000m per second or 11,160miles per hour through steel. The speed of sound is dependant upon the medium through which it is travelling and not on the loudness or pitch. For instance, sound travels much better through water than through air.
Why is the speed of sound greater for stone than water or air?
The speed of sound is greater in stone than in water or air because sound travels faster in denser materials. Stone is more dense than water or air, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly through its structure.
