Mechanical wave Sound travels at the speeds you have mentioned. As far as the last statement is concerned, sound travels through air at the speed of 330m/s at 0oC. At normal temperatures, the speed is approximately 333m/s.
From the three statements which you have mentioned (all are true to my knowledge), you can decipher that sound travels fastest through solid media, and then through liquid. It travels at a lower speed through gases and cannot travel through vacuum since sound waves are mechanical waves and require medium for transportation.
What else can I help you with?
Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest steel lead water air?
The speed of sound in air ~ 340 m/s in water ~ 1560 m/s in steel ~ 6000 m/s in lead ~ 2000 m/s estimated. Hence, steel is the winner. ==============================
Would sound waves travel faster in water or steel?
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Speed of sound is maximum in which like in steel or solid and if anything else than please specify?
Speed of sound is maximum in STeel or solid.. if we compare the speed of sound in different mediums like vaccuum,water,solid..we will find it decreases with maximum in soild then liquid and then vaccuum
Is subsonic speed underwater?
Subsonic speed refers to speeds below the speed of sound in a medium. In water, the speed of sound is higher than in air, so typical speeds of objects moving through water are considered subsonic.
Which medium does sound travel the fastest through air water or steel?
Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. This is because the speed of sound depends on the density and elasticity of the medium, with steel being the most dense and elastic, allowing sound waves to propagate faster.
Does sound travel aster in steel or glass?
The speed of sound through glass is 3962 metres per second, which is about 13000 feet per second. In normal air, sound travels at a speed of 343 meters per second and in water the speed is 1,433 metres per second. Sound travels at a speed of 5,000m per second or 11,160miles per hour through steel. The speed of sound is dependant upon the medium through which it is travelling and not on the loudness or pitch. For instance, sound travels much better through water than through air.
Is the speed of sound in steel greater than speed in water?
Yes.
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest steel lead water air?
The speed of sound in air ~ 340 m/s in water ~ 1560 m/s in steel ~ 6000 m/s in lead ~ 2000 m/s estimated. Hence, steel is the winner. ==============================
Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?
No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
At what speed does sound travel through water?
Depending on the temperature and the salt content of the water the speed of sound through water is approximately 5,300 kph (3,300 mph)
Would sound waves travel faster in water or steel?
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same
Does Sound travels faster through liquids and solids?
Sound travels 5 times fast under water then in the air and even faster through solids. For example speed of sound in: Air = 330 m/s Water = 1500 m/s Steel = 6000 m/s
What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?
Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. Steel is denser and allows sound waves to travel faster due to the close packing of atoms. Water is denser than air and also allows sound to travel faster because the molecules are closer together compared to air.
Is the speed of sound faster in colder temperatures?
The speed of sound slows in colder temperatures.The speed of sound is dependent on the medium it travels through. It travels faster in steel than water, faster in water than air and not at all in a vacuum.The molecules have more energy at higher temperatures so the sound waves can vibrate the air faster.
