What's the speed of a sound wave through water at 25° celsius? a. 750 m/s b. 1,500 m/s c. 1,250 m/s d. 1,000 m/s\

The correct answer option is B. 1,500 m/s.

Explanation:

The speed of a sound waves in the water at 25° Celsius is approximately 1500 meters per second.

Sound is a kind of mechanical wave which needs a medium to propagate and does not travel through a vacuum. Sound travels at different speed in different media depending on different factors.

For instance, here in this the medium for the sound to travel is water and its temperature is one factor that will affect it.

Sound waves tend to travel faster at higher temperatures but for around 20 to 25 °C, their speed is 1500 m/s.
