I recently saw an experiment which demonstrated that sound travels several times faster through water than through air. This made me wonder about something, so I thought I'd post the question here and see what would be the most popular hypothesis:
Seeing as sound travels several times faster through water than air, and seeing as water is much more dense than air, what do you think would happen if we ever reach the point of technology where an object or vehicle could break the sound barrier underwater? I realize that the vehicle or object would have to be travelling at an insane speed several times faster than an object in air), but I'm more interested in the physical byproducts of breaking the sound barrier underwater; such as - would there be a barrier event underwater as there is in air? Would there be some kind of weird cavitation event associated with a sonic boom if it occurred underwater?
What else can I help you with?
Which wave characteristic is most related to sound wave intensity?
Sound wave intensity is most closely related to the amplitude of the wave, which measures the strength or height of the wave. Greater amplitude corresponds to greater intensity, or louder sound.
What is the volume of a sound most closely associated with of a wave?
The volume of a sound is most closely associated with the amplitude of the wave. The greater the amplitude of the sound wave, the louder the volume perceived by our ears. Amplitude measures the intensity or strength of the sound wave, which directly correlates with how loud the sound is.
What is the quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave?
The loudness of a sound is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave. A larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.
What is the energy of a sound wave most closely related to?
It is most closely related to its amplitude (loudness, magnitude) because this is determined by the energy used to create the sound. Louder noises generally take more energy to create.
A sound wave will travel most quickly in what?
A sound wave can travel mor quickly in water than in air

Does sound have elements?
No sound is a compression wave and is continuous. Music has elements... but that is another question entirely
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.

The loudness of a sound is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave. A larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.

What characteristic of sound is most closely related to its frequency?
The pitch of sound is most closely related to its frequency. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound, while a lower frequency sound wave produces a lower pitch sound.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
What was the most popular genre of music in the 1980s?
punk to new wave
