Question
How sound travells in water?
Open in App
Solution
Dear student,
In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration
Sound travel as a longitudinal wave in water. Sound wave propagates through compressible media such as air, water and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse waves in solids.
Here, the displacement of the medium that constitute disturbance is in the direction of travel of the disturbance.
