The sound through water travels 300 miles per hour (INCORRECT)
It travels at about 10 times that speed in water - closer to 3000 miles per hour, although the purity of the water, the temperature and the pressure will also affect the speed.
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
A bomb explosion travels faster than the humming of a bee because the explosion produces a shockwave that moves at the speed of sound in the medium (air), which is much faster than the buzzing sound produced by a bee.
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
In simple terms... light travels much faster than sound. We see the lightning flash first, followed by the sound when it finally reaches us
Yes, but a train is much faster.
Yes, sound can travel underwater because water is a denser medium than air, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently. The speed at which sound travels in water is much faster than in air, which is why whales and dolphins use sound to communicate over long distances.
Turtles are much faster in water than on Land. They can usually swim faster than a human.
Much faster in a solid
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
About a million times faster
Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
Light travels much, much faster than sound. Light travels at 299792458 m/s while sound only goes 340.29 m/s.
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Sound travels faster in water than in air, but water is denser and less compressible which results in higher sound attenuation. This means sound waves weaken and lose energy more quickly in water, making them harder to hear compared to in air. Additionally, our ears are specifically adapted to detect sound in air, which further contributes to hearing sounds better in air than underwater.
