How fast does sound travel through custard?

900 years


What does the speed of sound measure?

The speed of sound measures how fast sound waves can travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. It is influenced by factors like temperature, density, and elasticity of the medium.


How do fast tsunamis travel in deep water?

Fast tsunamis travel in deep water because they have long wavelengths and low amplitudes, allowing them to move quickly with minimal energy loss. The speed of a tsunami is determined by the depth of the water it is traveling through, with deeper water supporting faster wave propagation. Tsunamis are not affected by surface friction in deep water, which also contributes to their fast travel speed.


Does sound travel faster and clearer on land or water?

On water because on land there are trees and other plants and buildings to block the sound but on water there are no buildings trees and plants on the surface! Hope this helped :)That does not have much to do with it. sound travels through denser gas or liquid faster. "In common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance. Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius".Air at sea level is about 800 times less dense than saltwater. additionally sound waves that travel through the air and waves that travel through dense liquids and solids are different


How fast does sound travel through cotton wool then air?

Sound travels faster through air than through cotton wool. In air, sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second, while in cotton wool it would travel at a slower speed due to the material's denser and more absorbent nature.
