Answer 2

Speed of sound in water is 1500 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound is a longitudinal wave. Sound wave requires a medium for its propagation. It flows in the form of compression and rarefaction. The speed of sound depends on the following factors such as :

1. Elasticity of the medium
2. Density of the medium

Speed of sound is maximum in solids then in liquid and it is least in gas. In water, the speed of sound is approximately 1500 meters per second.
