One should note that air is not pure Oxygen, rather it is about 21% oxygen, with most of the remainder being Nitrogen (and less than .04% CO2)
According to Wikipedia:
The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s
The speed of sound in water is 1,482 m/s
So, sound travels faster through water than air.
What else can I help you with?
Does sound travel quicker through air or water?
Sound travels faster through water than through air because water is denser and provides more molecules for sound waves to travel through, leading to a faster transmission of sound.
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Sound travels faster through wood than through water. In wood, sound travels at around 3300 meters per second, while in water it travels at around 1500 meters per second.
Does sound go faster through water or iron?
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
Do sound waves travel faster through wood or water?
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
Why does sound moves around four times faster then when it travels through air?
Sound travels faster in water because the molecules in water are closer together and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. This allows sound waves to travel faster through water compared to air.
Does sound travel faster through oxygen light water or metal?
metal since it is solid
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
Does sound travel quicker through air or water?
Sound travels faster through water than through air because water is denser and provides more molecules for sound waves to travel through, leading to a faster transmission of sound.
Does sound travels faster through water or air?
Sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and water is denser than air, so sound travels faster through water than air
How a medium affect sound?
Sound speed is changing with medium. Metal medium has high speedsfor sound.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
What will travel faster through water than through air?
Sound
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
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.
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.
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Sound travels faster through wood than through water. In wood, sound travels at around 3300 meters per second, while in water it travels at around 1500 meters per second.
