The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

m/s. This value is so famous and common in physics it is given its own symbol, c.
Answer:
5 weeks and 5 days is required to empty the lake
Explanation:
Officials begin the remove water from a full man made lake
The lake can be emptied in 4 weeks
= -1/4
A river can fill the lake up in 15 weeks
= 1/15
Let t represent the number of weeks that is required to empty the lake
= -1/t
Therefore the number of weeks it takes to empty the lake can be calculated as follows
-1/t= -1/4 + 1/15
-1/t= -11/60
Cross multiply
-11×t= -1×60
-11t= -60
t = 60/11
t= 5 5/11
Hence it takes 5 weeks and 5 days to empty the lake

I think it would be yes because the drum is submerged in water and the water would slow the sound waves, making the sound softer. Right?
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.
Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

The area of a sphere is given by

So replacing we have to

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

So considering the two intensities we have to


The ratio between the two intensities would be

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

Re-arrange to find 



Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is
