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.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?
In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.
Why does sound move faster through stone than water?
sound moves faster though stone than water because stones particles are closer together and vibrate faster. +++ We can add that in general, the denser the material the higher the speed of sound through it.
How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?
For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.
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.

When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at which they are traveling?
Sound speeds up when it goes into water from air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air.
What happens to sound if it moves through air into water?
Much of the sound will be reflected (the amount reflected will depend on the angle of incidence). If the angle of incidence is low enough, the sound will be completely reflected. The portion which is transmitted into the water, if any, will be refracted because of the difference in the speed of sound between air and water. Since the speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air, the sound will be refracted toward the surface of the water. Note that this is the opposite of what happens with light which has a slower speed in water than in air and is refracted away from the surface of the water.
When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at wich they are moving?
The speed of sound waves will increase when they travel from air to water. This is because sound travels faster in water due to water molecules being closer together, allowing the vibrations to propagate more quickly.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
How deep is the sound of speed in ocean water?
The sound of speed in ocean water or the speed of sound in water is about 1,480 meters per second. This speed can vary slightly depending on factors like water temperature, salinity, and pressure, but in general, sound travels faster in water than in air.
Is the speed of sound in water never changing?
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?
No, it is not.
Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?
Not the speed of sound.
Which material has more sound speed fresh water or seawater explain?
Fresh water has more sound speed. Spongy water is what slows down speed of water.
What happens to the speed of light as it moves from water into air?
The speed increases.
