What Is The Speed Of Sound Through Cork?

The speed of sound through cork is approximately 800 to 1,200 meters per second, depending on factors such as temperature and the density of the cork. This speed is relatively slower compared to sound traveling through materials like metals or water, due to cork's porous and lightweight structure. Sound propagation in cork is influenced by its unique cellular composition, which affects how vibrations move through the material.

Does cork expand when wet and how does this affect its properties and uses?

Yes, cork does expand when wet due to its porous nature. When cork absorbs water, it swells and becomes softer, which can affect its properties such as density and flexibility. This expansion can impact the effectiveness of cork in sealing applications, as well as its ability to provide insulation and cushioning.
