No, because sound cannot travel in the vacuum.
Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?
The sound not travel through vacuum because sound need a medium to travel.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

Nothing! Sound is wave and needs a medium to pass through in order to be heard !!!Nothing, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
Sound travels slowest in?
Sound travel slowest in gas. Actually, it is not in vacuum. In Vacuum sound cannot travel at all.
Speed of sound in vacuum?
Zero. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
What is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound will not travel in a vacuum, so zero.
Is the speed of sound at its maximum in vacuum?
Sound needs a medium to travel. Vacuum is no medium. Therefore there is no sound in vacuum.
Why can not sound travel through a vacuum?
Won't Sound Travel In A VacuumSpoken sound waves use air to travel along. As a vacuum does not contain any air particles, sound will not be heard.Sound is mechanical energy, and it requires a mechanical medium to propagate. That means that the medium must behave or respond in some mechanical way to conduct sound. Air or any liquid or solid will respond mechanically to the compression and rarefaction of a sound wave. In a vacuum, there is nothing to be compressed, so no sound will be conducted.Because a vacuum does not have a medium (material) for the sound waves and particles to pass through the same with space because there is no air for them to travel through.
Which environment will sound not travel through?
Sound will not travel through a vacuum.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Can sound travle to space?
Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum
How does the speed of sound change in a vacuum?
sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.
Can Sound waves can travel in a vacuum?
No. Since there is nothing sound can travel through, sound cannot travel.
Does sound travel in vaccum?
Sound needs a medium through which to travel. It will not travel in a vacuum.
Speed of sound is minimum in?
Gases. a vacuum supports no sound waves, so sound cannot be heard in vacuum.
Three things are needed for sound to be heard through in vacuum?
Sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum.
Why a bell ringing inside a vacuum chamber cannot be heard?
sound needs a medium to travel. material medium is necessary for propogation of sound. in vaccum sound do not travel. that's the reason why we are not able to hear sound in this case. Jordi101
Why wouldn't you hear the roar of a rocket engine in space?
Space is essentially a vacuum. Sound needs a medium to travel through to be heard. Therefore the sound of a rocket engine cannot be heard in space.
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.
How does sound travel through a vacuum?
It does not. Sound needs particles to be transmitted. Vacuum does not have particles.
If a tree fell in a vacuum why wouldn't you hear a sound?
Sound does not travel through a vacuum.
