Why does sound travel faster under water??

Physics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]2 years ago
5 0
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.

Grace [21]

The law of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, so choices B to D are immediately invalid. Choice A can explain this occurrence: <u>A. Some of the energy is used to combat friction, and thus is transformed from mechanical energy to heat.</u>

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

(a) False

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) True

Explanation:

(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.

(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.

(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of 90^{\circ}C to the direction of wave propagation.

(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.

(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:

c = \frac{E}{B}

Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.

(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.
