Why Sound produced in air cannot be heard in deep water why?
well there is sound and it is vet clear for any type of fish or any sea creature under there but it is harder for us to hear because we speak English and don't understand the music or hear it When we speak, we give off air. Through air, we hear and speak. But with water blocking, sound is distorted and hard to understand.

How would you prove that sound travels through water?
Buy an air horn. Find a pool of water big enough to put your head in and the air horn. with your head under water have a friend stand far enough away 50ft or so and submerge the airhorn and depress the top. If you hear it sound travels under water. The cheap way is for two people to go under water and one yells. you will hear the other person and prove sound travels under water.

What can frogs hear underwater?
They will simply hear what is around them. Sound, which is vibrations, can travel in water, air and through anything apart from a vacuum.Whilst underwater, frogs hear sound waves that have been emitted by other frogs and ambient noises also. Frogs use internal ears to process sound signals as well as their lungs, although the sensitivity of the lungs is not as high as that of the ear structure.They can hear fish, insects, animals and other frogs that are in the water. They hear using their big round ears called tympanum. Frogs can hear under water through the vibration that travels through the water, but they cannot hear sounds that are short and of high frequency.
Can a swimmer hear the boat sound under the water?
I live on a lake and swim quite often. When you go underwater and a boat goes by a 1/4 mile away, you can distinctly hear the prop and engine whirring. Also, the boat sounds much closer and louder than it does above water because sound travels better in water than in air. This is because it is more dense than air.
