What can sound waves not travel in?

sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)


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 can you not hear in a vacuum?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.


How do sound waves travel to a satellite?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.


What wave can not propagate in vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.


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.


What is the speed of ultrasonic waves in vacuum is equal to what is the speed of audible sound in air?

No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.


How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?

You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.


Sound waves do not travel through what?

Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.


Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate because they rely on the vibration of molecules. In a vacuum, there are no molecules for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate, resulting in the absence of sound.


Sound waves can't travel through A a solid B a liquid C an elastic material D a vacuum?

Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because it needs a medium and a vacuum has nothing within it that can act as a medium.


What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?

The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
