Can sound energy pass through empty space?

No.


Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they need particles to transport what?

to transport the sound or the sound energy.


How is a possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?

Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.


Is air the best conductor for sound?

An insulator prevents the transmittance of energy across a medium. Sound, through the molecules in air, can transmit sound energy across distance. Since air can conduct sound, it is not an insulator.


Why the explosions taking place in sun are not hered at earth?

To transmit sound, some sort of medium is required. A sound won't travel through empty space. (Some movies are unrealistic in this respect.)

What transmit sound the fastest?

The speed of sound depends only on the material it's traveling through, not on the source of the sound. In general, the speed is higher in more-dense media, like steel, water, and rock, then it is in less-dense media, like air.


Can sound transmit through the ground?

yes


Why cant sound trave through empty space?

Sound waves travel by vibrations in what?

Sound is energy of mechanical vibration transferred through a medium. Commonly the medium is air, but solids, liquids and gasses all transmit sound. Indeed, sound travels faster through liquid and solids than through gas. Sound does not propagate through a vacuum.


Can you hear sounds from a black hole?

There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.


Why is ultrasonic not how energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?

Sound can not propagate through empty space. The space between Sun and Earth is empty for all practical purposes.
