Underwater speaker

I wondered if a speaker would work underwater. So I though: lets give it a try =D

Sound waves will work underwater yes, because it works like when the waves travels through the air. The only difference is the sound will be harder to hear through the water, because water and the glass have more dense molecules than air has.

True, but i was actually testing if the electric part of a speaker would work :P

LOL you have a diskmen!!! LOSER!

[aegis3d]

he.. was the first thing i could find to hook up the speaker, because i use my phone as an mp3 player i didn't had my old mp3 player lying around, and this was the first thing with an audiojack that i could find xD

water isn't conductive... duh, well at least pure water isn't, but put the slightest trace of soliable chemical in it and it does, like salt for example.

@judeh101 Well he does say in the video itself haha.

But as soon we take out the speaker from the water into the air around us, its loudest..

Sound waves go 4.3 times faster in water than air, but that doesn't mean it's louder for us.(?)

[Choscura]

because we're outside the water. if we were in the water with the speaker, it would be louder.

key fact that supports this: water cannot be compressed (or I shouldn't say can't, but it's incredibly difficult and hasn't ever been done intentionally by humans).

[killerc0p]

Hmm, but why do we then hear the sound in lower volume when the speaker is underwater then?

[Choscura]

sorry, but that's wrong. the density helps transmit sound better. sound waves go further and faster.

what was the song

haha
