What else can I help you with?
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 is the speed of sound waves when travelling through a vacuum?
The speed of sound in vacuum is zero. Sound needs a material medium in order topropagate. Since vacuum contains no material medium, sound does not propagate.Therefore, it never moves from the source of the sound, and theSpeed = (distance covered in any time interval) divided by (time to cover the distance)is zero.
Can silence exist in a vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through (i.e. air, water, ect.). In a vacuum no such medium exists so there can be no sound waves. So the answer is, yes, silence can and does exist in a vacuum.
Can sound be heard in a vacuum?
No.Sound consists of mechanical vibrations within a medium (such as the air). Within a vacuum, there is no such medium, and thus no sound.(However, solid objects will still vibrate in a vacuum, and an observer in direct contact with a vibrating object would be able to "hear" these vibrations despite the lack of air.)
What does not make sound?
A vacuum does not make sound. Unlike a vacuum cleaner, which does!
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.
Can sound travle to space?
Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum
Can people here sound in space?
No. Sound is the vibration of air. Sound will not travel in a vacuum. Space is a vacuum
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.
Where is there no sound?
There is no sound in space or a vacuum.
If a tree fell in a vacuum why wouldn't you hear a sound?
Sound does not travel through a vacuum.
If two people were in a vacuum could they hear each other speak - This is a hypothetical question and assumes a true vacuum.?
No. Yes, provided it is a vacuum that they could survive. A true vacuum in which there is no matter of any kind is a real stretch of physics, and only really exists in theory. What we call a vacuum is really just a strong negative pressure. Matter is still present. Even in the "vacuum" of space, there's still some matter.Answer No. Sound waves will not travel through a vacuum. There is a physics lesson explaining why in detail on this website http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/sound/U11L1a.html
