Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
What can sound not penetrate?
the most dense material that is known Sound cannot pass through a vacuum.
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?
No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.
What can sound cannot pass through?
a vaccum.answer is D vacuum (for penn foster)Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum as there is no matter and pressure is so low that any particles in the space do not affect any processes being carried on vacuum.A vacuum, as there is no substance to vibrate.they travel through everything because they bend around objects
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.

What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.

Why cant you hear the sun here on earth?
Because sound doesn't traverse through a vacuum, sound requires air to pass through in a wave (sound wave).
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
What do you hear when an alarm clock rings in a vacuum?
Nothing! Sound is wave and needs a medium to pass through in order to be heard !!!Nothing, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
Why the sound waves could not pass through vacuum?
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
What mediums do sound move through?
Sound consists of a wave of vibrations of particles so it must have a material substance to pass through. So sound can pass through solids, liquids and gases but not through a vacuum. See http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/sound.htm
What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
