Velocity Of Sound In Pure Water
The velocity of sound in pure water is the speed at which sound waves propagate through water under ideal, pure conditions, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
History/Origin
The measurement of sound velocity in water has been studied since the 19th century, with early experiments by physicists like Lord Rayleigh, contributing to the understanding of acoustic properties of water and its dependence on temperature, pressure, and salinity.
Current Use
The velocity of sound in water is used in underwater acoustics, sonar technology, oceanography, and environmental monitoring to determine water properties, map underwater features, and facilitate communication and navigation.
Meter/second
The meter per second (m/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled per second.
History/Origin
The meter per second has been used as a standard unit of speed in the International System of Units (SI) since the adoption of the SI system in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light.
Current Use
It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and everyday contexts to measure velocity, such as in transportation, aerodynamics, and scientific research.
