The speed in water is less than or greater than the speed of sound of air?
The speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air . For example, at 20 °C and 1 ATM pressure, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and its speed in water is 1482 m/s. In general, the speed of sound in a medium = (bulk modulus of the medium/ its density)^0.5 where the bulk modulus indicates how compressible the medium is; the greater the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the medium is. So, although water has a density much greater than that of air, water is also much more incompressible than air. When you solve for the speed of sound for both water and air using the above formula, you will find that it is greater in water.
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.
Is the speed of sound slower at 300 feet below the sea than at 200 feet?
Yes, the speed of sound is generally slower at greater depths in water due to the increase in pressure and temperature. At 300 feet below sea level, the water is typically denser and warmer than at 200 feet, which can lead to variations in sound speed. However, the increase in pressure at greater depths can also affect sound speed. Ultimately, the specific conditions at those depths will determine the exact speed of sound.
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.
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
Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?
Not the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound in steel greater than speed in water?
Yes.

The speed of sound in what is greater than the speed of sound in water?
Speed of sound in water is faster than in air. Speed of sound in steel is c = 5930 m/s. That is faster than in air and in water. Speed of sound in water is c = 1480 m/s. It is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Speed of sound in air is c = 343 m/s at 20°C = 68°F. The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric 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.
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.
Is the speed of sound slower at 300 feet below the sea than at 200 feet?
Yes, the speed of sound is generally slower at greater depths in water due to the increase in pressure and temperature. At 300 feet below sea level, the water is typically denser and warmer than at 200 feet, which can lead to variations in sound speed. However, the increase in pressure at greater depths can also affect sound speed. Ultimately, the specific conditions at those depths will determine the exact speed of sound.
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.
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.
Why the stone sinks in water?
it's because the density may be greater than the body of water that is why the stone sink...
Why speed of velocity of sound is greater in hot water than the cold water?
The speed of sound is proportional to the density of the substance it's traveling through. Typically 'colder' water is more dense than 'hotter' water, and therefore sound would travel at a greater speed through colder water. However, there is a point right above the freezing temperature for water in which a decrease in temperature would cause a decrease in density due to the polar molecule behavior of water. Talking about the velocity of sound is a bit pointless, as it doesn't typically have a 'direction.'
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.
