The data shows the speed of sound through air and water from the sea at 21°C.
How does the speed of sound compare in sea water to the speed of sound in air?
Picture:
Material | Speed (m/s)
air 331
sea water 1,524
A. The speed of sound is faster in sea water because the molecules in sea water are farther from each other and less dense.
B. The speed of sound is faster in sea water because the molecules in sea water are closer to each other and more dense.
C. The speed of sound is slower in sea water because the molecules in sea water are farther from each other and more dense.
D. The speed of sound is slower in sea water because the molecules in sea water are closer to each other and less dense.

I apologize for the confusion. My previous response was incorrect. The correct answer is:
C. The speed of sound is slower in sea water because the molecules in sea water are farther from each other and more dense.
C. The speed of sound is slower in sea water because the molecules in sea water are farther from each other and more dense.
