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

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.


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.


What are 3 things that affect the Sofar Channel?

i think only 2 things effect on sound under water, temperature and pressure.

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.

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.


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.


What travels lighter light or sound?

Light appears lighter, and also travels faster, than sound.
