MAGIC!!!!! no really, sound travels underwater even fast than out of water. sound is just a vibration that your eardrums hear and send the message to your brain, and your brain converts it into a message that we know as sounds!


Why is sound louder in water than in air?

Sound is louder in water than in air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to travel more effectively and with less loss of energy. In water, sound waves can travel faster and more efficiently, resulting in louder sound perception compared to air.

How fast does sound travel through matter?

Sound travels at a speed that is dependent on density. As a rule the more dense the material the faster sound travels. In air, mach 1 (the speed of sound) is about 750 MPH. In water it is about 3316 MPH. (Water is much denser than air.)


Can sound travel underwater why?

Yes, sound can travel underwater because water is a denser medium than air, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently. The speed at which sound travels in water is much faster than in air, which is why whales and dolphins use sound to communicate over long distances.
