As opposed to travelling in what?
But if you mean sound then its because sound is - technically speaking - a vibration of the molecules. It is slower in air because the molecules are farther away from each other, and thus the molecules take much longer to interact.
In water, the molecules are closer together, and therefore pass on the vibration quicker.
This also relates to why water takes sound much farther as opposed to air. :)
Light waves travel faster through air than through water because air has a lower refractive index than water. This means that light waves experience less bending (refraction) in air compared to water, allowing them to move faster.
Yes, sound can travel in water, but it travels faster and farther in water compared to air because water is denser and transmits sound more efficiently. Sound travels around four times faster in water than in air.
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.
Sound waves travel faster in water than in air because water is denser and stiffer than air. This allows the particles in water to transmit the sound energy more efficiently and at a faster speed. Additionally, water molecules are closer together, which enables the wave to pass through the medium with less resistance.
Air travel faster over water than land due to the smooth surface of water causing less friction compared to the uneven surface of land. This reduced friction allows the air to flow more freely and at a higher speed.
Sound travels faster in water thanin air.
in water
it travels faster in water
Water is denser than air . Hence light travels faster in air than water.
air
Sound travels faster in water than it does in air. It travels even faster in metals.
sound travels faster through water than air.
yes
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
because water is denser than air. sound travelles faster in dinser places.
under water because of the water
Since air has a lower optical density than water, light waves can travel faster in air.
