a vaccum.
answer is D vacuum (for penn foster)
Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum as there is no matter and pressure is so low that any particles in the space do not affect any processes being carried on vacuum.
A vacuum, as there is no substance to vibrate.
they travel through everything because they bend around objects

∙ 11y agoSound waves cannot travel through a vacuum. They must travel through a medium, such as a gas, liquid, or solid. Sound waves travel the fastest through a solid.
Sound waves are made of vibrating material be it a liquid a gas or a solid There is no material in a vacuum so there is nothing to pass the vibration through.

Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
What can sound not penetrate?
the most dense material that is known Sound cannot pass through a vacuum.
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?
No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.
Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?
Sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium. Hence through vacuum it cannot pass through
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
What can sound not penetrate?
the most dense material that is known Sound cannot pass through a vacuum.
Why Do astronauts cannot hear each other on the moon?
Sound cannot travel through medium because it does not contain any particles to pass on the sound vibrations
What state of matter does sound energy pass through?
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?

Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?

What ia a Insulator?
An insulator is an object that electricity, heat or sound cannot pass through. It is the opposite to conductor.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
What cannot pass through an opaque material?
Light cannot pass through an opaque material.
Can sound travel through all materials?
If there are atoms then the wave of energy can pass through it. If there aren't any atoms (in a vacuum) then sound cannot travel. Remember: In space, no one can hear you scream.
