The higher the density of the material, the faster the sound waves penetrate through it. This is because it requires less time for the vibration of the sound wave to interact with the molecules of the material.
By the way, sound is even faster going through metal, again for the same reason - density.
The speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 m/s. Therefore, it would take approximately 0.2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water.
Sound waves travel through water in the same manner they do through air. The waves in which produced by the source will take form as the particles of water vibrate in a rhythmic pattern which yield to the specific sounds.
Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. Therefore, it would take about 2.9 seconds for sound to travel 1000 meters in air.
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. Therefore, it would take around 0.29 seconds for sound to travel 100 meters in these conditions.
Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.
The speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 m/s. Therefore, it would take approximately 0.2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water.
It will take less time.....Because the speed of sound in water is more than that in air :)
Well, let's look. Sound (compressional) waves need a medium to travel through (the ground, the water of the ocean.) Now let's compare densities of the medium. The denser the medium, the longer the sound waves take to travel. Now I think you can figure this one out.
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Sound waves are not matter; they are the transmission of energy through a medium such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves are produced by vibrations and travel through the medium in the form of pressure variations that we perceive as sound.
Sound waves travel through water in the same manner they do through air. The waves in which produced by the source will take form as the particles of water vibrate in a rhythmic pattern which yield to the specific sounds.
There is no sound in space.
It doesn't. Nothing to travel through.
They travel faster in water. Water molecules are closer together (more dense) than are air molecules and sound is a compressive phenomenon, meaning that a sound wave is carried through a medium by the molecules of that medium transferring the sound energy one to another. If the molecules are closer together, this energy transfer happens more quickly. Human ears aren't really designed to notice this difference, mostly because we're in air all the time, but dolphins and whales take great advantage of it.

The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.
