Which type of wave travels faster through water than through air?

1. **Wave Propagation in Different Media**: The speed at which waves travel depends on the properties of the medium they are traveling through. 2. **Speed of Sound**: Sound waves travel faster in water than in air because water molecules are closer together than air molecules, allowing sound waves to transmit more efficiently. 3. **Comparison with Other Waves**: - **Visible Light Waves**: Travel faster in air than in water. - **Radio Waves**: Also travel faster in air than in water. - **Gamma Waves**: Travel at the speed of light and are less affected by the medium. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the given options, sound waves are the type of waves that travel faster through water than through air. **References**: - Wave Propagation Characteristics: The behavior of different types of waves in various media.
