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 travels the slowest through a?
Well sound would travel the slowest - i.e not at all - in a vacuum. However, for simplistic terms, rubber is actually the slowest that sound will travel through of common objects. I don't know but something like sodium at 3K might be a lot slower.
Through which material does sound travel slowest?
sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecule sin the air are farther apart. Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest then water and then granite was all I learned . Also Saltwater is faster then water becaus e there more salt so air goes through it faster.
Why oil light travel slowest?
Light travels slower in oil than in a vacuum because oil has a higher refractive index than a vacuum, which causes light to slow down as it moves through the medium. The denser the medium, the slower light will travel.
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
What is the difference of the transmission of sounds through air with ex transmission in solid liquid and vacuum?
Sound waves travel fastest through air because the molecules are spread out the most. They travel slowest through solid because the molecules are very tightly packed together. They do not travel through a vacuum at all.
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
What is 4 ways light waves can travel?
Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.
Do microwave travel through vacuum?
Yes, any electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
