What did the bell in a vacuum tell scientists about sound?

THat sound requires matter to travel to be heard. Therefore a vacuum has no matter hence no sound can be heard


How does sound behave in a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it relies on the vibration of molecules to propagate. In the absence of molecules in a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot be heard.


Did ultrasonic sound are heard in solar system?

No, because sound cannot travel in the vacuum.


Why a sound of ringing bell inside vacuum chamber cannot be heard?

Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum chamber, there is no air or medium for the sound waves to travel through, so the ringing bell cannot be heard.


A region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel?

A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit sound waves, so no sound can be heard.


What can you hear when a bell rings in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, no sound can be heard because sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through in order to be heard. Without a medium, there is nothing to carry the sound waves from the vibrating bell to our ear drums.


What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.


Why cant you hear anything in a vacuum?

Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air or water. In a vacuum, there is a lack of molecules for sound waves to transmit through, so there is no medium to carry the sound. As a result, sound cannot travel through a vacuum and therefore cannot be heard.


What is a vacuum and why can't you hear things in a vacuum?

A vacuum is a space completely devoid of matter, including air particles. Sound needs a medium, such as air, to travel through. Without particles to transmit the sound waves, sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.


What do you hear when an alarm clock rings in 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.


Does everything make a sound?

vibrations(:


Why sound cannot be hear in vacuum?

Sound relies on particles of matter to transfer its energy. For instance, when you speak, that sound wave travels through the air particles, pushing each one towards the next with the message of sound to the ear of another person for example. Even in water, sound does travel, but it's harder to hear because water is so dense. In a vacuum, there is no air, so no air particles to carry the sound, and thus, no sound can be heard.
