Yes, sound can travel for great distances in this layer because refraction tends to keep sounds waves in the layer.

What is the sofar layer?

At the low and middle latitudes, the SOFAR channel axis lies between 600-1200 meters below the sea surface. It is deepest in the subtropics, and it comes to the surface in high latitudes, where the sound propagates in the surface layer.


The more elastic the medium the slower sound travels in it?

This statement is not accurate. In general, sound travels faster in more elastic media. Elasticity refers to a material's ability to return to its original shape after deformation, which facilitates the transmission of sound waves. Therefore, as the elasticity of a medium increases, sound waves can propagate more quickly through it.


How would you explain the concept of sound travel to someone who is unfamiliar with it?

Sound travels in waves through a medium, such as air or water. When something makes a noise, like a person speaking or a bell ringing, it creates vibrations that move through the medium and reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound. Sound travels at different speeds depending on the medium it is traveling through, with air being a common medium for sound to travel through.

How did Leonardo Da Vinci contribute to knowledge of sound?

Leonardo da Vinci is credited with the initial discovery that sound travels in waves. Others expanded on his work, such as Galileo who discovered that the pitch of sound depends on the frequency of those waves.

Does sound travel slowly and refract inward in the sofar layer?

In the SOFAR layer (Sound Fixing and Ranging layer), sound does travel slowly due to the combination of low temperature and high pressure. This slower speed causes the sound waves to refract inward towards the layer, enabling them to travel long distances with minimal loss of energy.

Sound travels as a what?

Sound travels as a wave through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. The vibrations of particles in the medium create pressure changes that propagate as sound waves.


Why does sound travel?

it travels through sound


Where does sound travels through?

Sound travels through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. In solids, sound waves travel the fastest, followed by liquids, and then gases. In space, where there is no medium, sound cannot travel.


Sound travels at the speed of what?

Sound travels at 350 m/s at room temperature. At 21 C it travels at 343.6 m/s.


What travels lighter light or sound?
