Yes, sound can travel for great distances in this layer because refraction tends to keep sounds waves in the 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.
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.
A. test a hypothesis
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.
I think the appropriate wording for this question: "why do you see lightning before hearing thunder?" The simple answer is that light travels faster than sound.
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.
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.
i think only 2 things effect on sound under water, temperature and pressure.
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Sound travels in waves.
Sound travels through all matter.
Why sound travels easily in rainy day
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.
it travels through sound
Sound travels at 350 m/s at room temperature. At 21 C it travels at 343.6 m/s.
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.
Light appears lighter, and also travels faster, than sound.
