The correct statement based on the table is:
Sound travels faster in warmer water, both in fresh water and sea water.
As the temperature increases from 0°C to 30°C, the speed of sound increases in both fresh water and sea water.
The table below shows the speed of sound in water at different temperatures and salinities.
The table shows the speed of sound in freshwater and seawater at different temperatures.
Temperature (°C) Speed of Sound in Fresh Water (m/s) Speed of Sound in Sea Water (m/s)
0
1403 1449
10 1447 1490
20 1481 1522
30 1507 1546
Based on the table, which statement describes the relationship between temperature and the speed of sound in water?
