What else can I help you with?
Can one will b able to hear on earth if there is no gravity?
Yes, you would still be able to hear. Sound only needs a medium to travel through in order for it to be audible. Gravity is a force, not a medium. The atmosphere is the medium that you most frequently hear sound through. The more dense the medium, the more quickly the sound can travel and vice versa. For example, sound travels faster and more efficiently in water than it does in air.
Why can't we hear in space?
Sound requires a gas as a medium for transmission.
Can you hear anything in outer space?
No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Astronauts can hear inside their spacecrafts where there is air, but they cannot hear anything outside in the vacuum of space.
What are the properties and behavior of sound waves in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum because they require a medium, such as air, to propagate through. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to compress and rarefy, thus preventing their transmission.
Why is sound on earth?
Because we can hear it. The medium air can tranport the sound. In a vacuum like on the moon that is not possible.
Define transmission medium?
the substance that energy is transfered through. For example when you hear a sound the transmission medium is air.
Why would you not hear if the moon blew up?
Because there is no medium to transmit the sound.
Does matter help sound travel through an empty room?
By definition, matter is required for sound to exist. Sound waves are transferred by vibration of molecules, which is why sound does not exist within the vacuum of space. In space nobody really can hear you scream.
Why can you not hear any sound in a vacuum?
Sound is produced when a certain thing causes the gas, water, or solid around your ear to vibrate, which in turn, is then received by the ear drum. When you are in a vacuum, there is no gas, liquid, or solid that sound is able to travel by.
What factors are necessary for a sound wave to travel through a medium?
well sound actually always needs a medium so it can travel, in space there's is no sound because there isn't a medium it can travel through. but just about anything is a medium for sound. air is also a great medium, that's why were able to hear one another
Where is sound produced?
sound can be produced in any medium - air, water and solids too, but most of the sounds we hear are through air. Animals like dolphins produce sound in water and hear it there.
Can a cell hear sound?
Sound is nothing but vibrations being traversed in a material medium. These vibrations may be sensed by cells. If you consider this sensation as hearing then we can declare that cells could hear sound.
