What else can I help you with?
Do sound waves travel through space?
Not unless there's some material matter in the space.
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
Why cant you here in space?
Because there is no atmosphere in space, therefore nothing can carry the sound waves of your vocal cords. Sound relies on pressure waves moving through air. Therefore, in the absolute vacuum of space, no sound can be heard at all.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
Can sound travel in Space where is there is no matter?
No, it can't.
Why is it impossible for sound to travel through outer space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid surfaces, to travel through. In outer space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space.
Is there a place in the universe there is no sound?
Sound requires matter, so basically, anywhere where there is no matter, i.e. in empty space, there can be no sound.
What type of material can travel through space?
Sound and Light can travel through space.
Why the sound produce on the sun cannot be heard on earth?
because space is a vacuum. In order for sound to carry, there must be matter through which it may travel (sound is caused by the energy that causes particles to vibrate). On Earth, we have the air particles that sound carry's through. In space, there is no medium through which the sound energy may travel.
