It will slow - sound moves faster in water than in air.

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.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
Why does sound move faster through stone than water?
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.
What is the speed of sound in fresh water?
In fresh water, sound travels at about 1497 m/s at 25 °C.
How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?
In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.

No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.

When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at wich they are moving?
i think the speed will increase.
When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at which they are traveling?
Sound speeds up when it goes into water from air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air.
What happens to sound if it moves through air into water?
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.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound in water never changing?
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
How deep is the sound of speed in ocean water?
The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s.
Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?
No, it is not.
Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?
Not the speed of sound.
Which material has more sound speed fresh water or seawater explain?
Fresh water has more sound speed. Spongy water is what slows down speed of water.
Why does sound move faster through stone than water?
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.
