light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
What will light travel through that sound won't?
A vacuum.
Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?
The sound not travel through vacuum because sound need a medium to travel.
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.
Light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot Why is this?
Sound can only travel through air or water, not through a vacuum, it works in stronger waves than light.
Can light travel in a vacuum?
Yes. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to travel through.Mechanical waves (such as sound) do require a medium to travel through, so sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.Space is a vacuum. The light from the stars (including our own sun) travel across a great distance in a vacuum to get to us.The accepted speed of light is its speed in a vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s.
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Sound cannot go through vaccum
Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
Can sound travel through vacuum tube?
Sound cannot travel through vacuum, but unless there is sufficient insulation, sound might travel through the material the tube is made of.
What sound cant travel through?
sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
