Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
Why is there no sound in the vacuum of space?
Because sound travells by air and if there is no air then sound cannot travel to your ears. A vacum is where there is no air e.g. space.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What is the approximate velocity of sound in the air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
How does air pressure change the effect of sound waves compression and rarefaction?
Air pressure does not affect transverse sound waves. The temperature is most important to do that. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself and is not dependent upon the amplitude, frequency, or wavlength of the sound. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
Why is there no sound in the vacuum of space?
Because sound travells by air and if there is no air then sound cannot travel to your ears. A vacum is where there is no air e.g. space.
Why is there no sound in a vaccuum?
sound is created because of vibrations in air. i.e The change of vibrations in air creates sound. In vacuum there is no air. So it is not possible to create sound in vaccum.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
What is the approximate velocity of sound in the air?
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases

How does sound travel in air?
Sound Waves push air particles out of the way.Sound travels as a wave. each particle of air transfers the sound energy to the next.
Can sound travel through air and evidence?
Sound travels through air. Experiment: Listen. Result: Do you hear anything? That sound has traveled through air.
