Sound can pass though water very easily , about four times faster than in air . The speed in air also varies some with temperature and density( air pressure)..

What waves are in sound waves?

Sound waves in water are essentially the same as sound waves in air; they consist of a sequence of slight compressions of the water between non-compressed water, much as sound in air consists of denser sections of air in between less dense air. The main difference is that sound travels faster in water. The denser medium conducts sound better.


How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?

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.
