What kind of energy travels through water better than through air?

Sound energy travels better through water than through air because water is denser and transmits sound waves more efficiently. This is why marine animals rely on sound for communication and navigation in the ocean.


Does sound travel better though air or water?

Sound travels better and faster in air because air has a lower density than water and the sound vibrations can travel faster through them and with more accuracy, whereas in water the vibrations slowly die out and do not travel well because the density of the water will likely muffle and obstruct the sound waves. sound travels better in air than in water as sound travels in vibrations.. it travels faster in water than in air but it travels better in air.....


Why does sound travel through some materials better than others?

Sound travels better through materials that have particles closer together, allowing for more efficient transfer of energy between particles. Materials with higher density and rigidity tend to transmit sound more effectively. Additionally, materials that do not absorb or scatter sound waves easily are better at transmitting 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.


Will sound travel faster through water or a glass window?

window, because sound travels fastest through solids, liquids second, and gases last.

Water- It is denser, and sound travels better through a denser substance.

How well does sound travel through water?

Sound travels through water much better than it travels through air. In air, sound travels at about 330 m/sec (metres per second). In seawater it travels at about 1,490 m/s (better 1.49km/sec). Sound also travels much further through water than it does though air. This is the way humpback whales can communicate over very long distances with their singing.


How do sound waves travel through water compared with wood?

Sounds travel better through denser objects and since water is denser than wood, sound travels through it better.

What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?

sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.


How does sound travels through liquid?

Sound travels through liquid the same way it travels through air. It sets up pressure waves that travel through the water, just like they do in air. One big difference is that the speed of sound in water is much faster than in air, but the philosophy is the same.


Can sound travel through water or wood?

I am not sure about wood, but sound travels through water VERY well.


Would sound travel faster through water or through air?

sound travels faster through water than air.
