Why can't sound travel under water?
Sound does travel under water otherwise the Humpback would be wasting its time singing!
Does sound travel under water?
yes, of course.
Does sound travel faster underwater or in air?
under water because of the water
Does sound travel faster under water or in air?
underwater x
Can sound travel through under water and how?
Sound is simply the vibration of matter so it exists under water, in rocks, and even in lava.
How are ocean waves different from sound waves in terms of their propagation and behavior?
Ocean waves and sound waves differ in their propagation and behavior. Ocean waves are mechanical waves that travel through water, while sound waves are pressure waves that travel through air or other mediums. Ocean waves are affected by factors such as wind, tides, and water depth, while sound waves can travel through different mediums and are influenced by temperature and pressure. Additionally, ocean waves can be seen and felt, while sound waves are typically heard and can be reflected or absorbed by different materials.
Does molecules need to be present for sound to travel?
Sound is a wave and it needs a medium to travel through. Waves in the ocean use water as a medium. Without water, you can't have a wave. In the case of sound you need a medium, whether its solid, liquid or gas, for the sound to travel through. Hence the line, "in space, no one can year you scream." Space is a vacuum (i.e. no "molecules") so sound cannot travel.
Does vibrations of a earthquake or sound in water travel faster?
Well, let's look. Sound (compressional) waves need a medium to travel through (the ground, the water of the ocean.) Now let's compare densities of the medium. The denser the medium, the longer the sound waves take to travel. Now I think you can figure this one out.
What instrument emits a sound wave to measure the ocean floor?
A sonar instrument emits sound waves to measure the ocean floor. The sound waves travel through the water and bounce back when they hit the seafloor, allowing the instrument to calculate the depth and map the topography of the ocean floor.
If you are under water and you speak will it take more time for the sound to travel or less time?
It will take less time.....Because the speed of sound in water is more than that in air :)
Why does sound travell faster under water than under ground?
Actually, sound travels slower under water than underground. Sound is a vibration in molecules that we perceive as noise. Water's molecules are rather loose compared to a solid's molecules, so it would travel slower underwater compared to traveling underground.
Why can you hear sound better in air than under water?
cause its easier for sound waves to travel through air than through liquid
