What are three factors that affect the speed of sound in water?

depth, current, temperature, consistency (salt or fresh)


How do sound waves travel through water and what factors affect their propagation?

Sound waves travel through water by vibrating water molecules, which then transmit the vibrations to neighboring molecules. The speed of sound in water is faster than in air due to water's higher density and stiffness. Factors that affect the propagation of sound waves in water include temperature, pressure, salinity, and depth. These factors can impact the speed and distance that sound waves can travel in water.


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.


Why does sound travel more quickly through cold water than warm water?

Sound travels faster through cold water than warm water because colder water has a higher density and lower temperature, which allows sound waves to travel more efficiently. The speed of sound is related to the temperature and density of the medium it's traveling through, so these differences in water conditions affect how quickly sound can propagate.


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).

Does the temperature of water affect the pitch of sound?

Presumably you mean sound traveling through water. Temperature affects the density of water, therefore the speed of sound in water, and pitch is frequency, so yes, temperature affects pitch.


Is the speed of sound in water never changing?

The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.


What is the speed of sound in water vapour?

The speed of sound in water vapor is approximately 330 meters per second at room temperature. This speed can vary depending on the temperature and pressure of the vapor.

At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.


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


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)


What does not affect the speed of sound in air?

I think you're looking for a change in medium - that is to say, the frequency of a sound wave does not change as it passes from one material to another (like when sound travels from air to water), although it does affect speed, changing the wavelength.


Does the speed of sound in water change with a temperature change?

yes it is changing. It's increasing with the temperature.


How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?

Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
