Sound Waves
There are two different kinds of sound waves. There are sheer
waves (S) and pressure waves (P). The sheer waves are energy waves, they move
slower. They are the second wave in earthquakes. Pressure waves are sound
waves, they move faster, they are the first waves in earthquakes.
SOUND CAN TRAVEL FASTER?!?
The kind of material that has low compressility
makes sound travel faster because it has a higher density than does the material
with high compressibility. High compressibility has a low density. Sound travels
through the material with the most highest density. Which includes water.
Basic Sound.
They travel in whichever way has directed them
to travel in. For example, I am talking to you, but you cannot hear me. Why is
that? It is probably because I am facing another object while talking to you. If
I were to face you while talking, you'd hear me more clearly. Sound can travel in air and in water
but....sound actually travels faster in water than in air, because most of the air molocules are in water
