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.
What else can I help you with?
Does sound move through water?
Sound moves through water. It just moves more quickly than in air, so it's harder for humans to identify it.
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.
How will the sound moving through air be different when it moves through water?
When sound moves through water instead of air, it travels faster and can be heard over longer distances. This is because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently. Additionally, the pitch of the sound may change slightly due to the difference in medium.
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 happens when a wave moves through the water?
When a wave moves through water, the water particles move in a circular motion within the wave. As the wave passes, the water particles oscillate up and down, transferring energy but not water along with the wave's direction.
What happens as foods moves through the large intestine?
As the material moves through the large intestine, water and nutrients are absorbed into bloodstream. The remaining material is readied for evacuation from the body.
Why does sound moves around four times faster then when it travels through air?
Sound travels faster in water because the molecules in water are closer together and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. This allows sound waves to travel faster through water compared to air.
What type of wave moves through matter?
A mechanical wave moves through matter. These waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate energy. Examples include sound and seismic waves.
How do you spell the sound of ship?
The sound of a ship is usually spelled as "ship." If you are looking for an onomatopoeic representation of the sound of a ship, it is often described as "whoosh" or "swish" as it moves through the water.
Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium?
Yes, sound is a form of energy that moves in waves through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the medium and can be detected by our ears.
What pump moves hot water?
The pump that moves hot water through a hot water heater is the recirculation pump. This pump moves the water through the heater and back through the intake line.
When water moves out of a cell what happens?
it shrinks
