radiant waves are waves that have their sources from the sun. they are light rays and light is faster than sound in all ramifications. the speed of light is 300 x 108 ms-1 while that of sound is 300x 106 ms-1 .

Why does sound travel faster in the water than the air?

Sound travels faster in water than air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. The molecules in water are closer together, which enables the sound waves to transmit quicker through the medium. Additionally, water has higher bulk modulus compared to air, facilitating faster transmission of sound waves.
