How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?

For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.


Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?

because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed


How can you boil water at a temperature lower than 100 celsiuse?

Place the container of water in a vacuum & it should start to boil at room temperature.


What effect does water have on the movement of sound waves?

The sound that is produced when a water glass is struck or its lip is rubbed is caused by the vibration of the glass and its effect on the surrounding air. As more or less water is added, the amount of glass that can freely vibrate changes.


Why does boiling water make a thumping sound when dropped from a height on the floor from a jug or mug as compared to cold water?

Boiling water makes a thumping sound because it creates more steam when it contacts the floor, leading to a sudden change in pressure that causes the noise. Cold water, on the other hand, doesn't produce as much steam upon impact, resulting in a less pronounced sound.

What is the value of velocity of ultrasonic sound in water?

It should be about the same as the speed of normal sound. The speed of sound varies a bit, depending on the frequency, but usually that is not much.


Is water transmitted or absorbed by sound?

Sound does not tansmit or absorb water. But water both transmits and absorbs sound.

No, that noise means there is air in the system which needs to be bled, then replaced with water.

If by "pee" you mean the motor is shooting water out of the water outlet, then yes it should do this--the water pump turns when the engine does.
