Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.
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.
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 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.
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 doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?
The sound not travel through vacuum because sound need a medium to travel.
What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.
Why electron travel through the vacuum and not travel through the air?
how electron move in vacuum and not move in air
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
