Why does sound travel faster in water than air?
That's fascinating! Another question, does the temperature of the medium affect the speed of sound?
Yes, temperature is another factor that affects the speed of sound. In general, sound travels faster in warmer environments because the molecules in a warm medium are more spread out, making it easier for sound waves to propagate through them. On the other hand, colder environments have denser air and water molecules, which can slow down sound.
