If a tree fell in a vacuum why wouldn't you hear a sound?

Sound does not travel through a vacuum.


When a tree falls can sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.


What kind of wave is created if a tree falls in a forest?

If a tree falls in a forest, it can create sound waves that travel through the air. These sound waves are produced by the impact of the tree hitting the ground and can be perceived by nearby animals or humans if they are within range of the sound.


What is the sound of the tree?

The sound of the tree is the rusling noise made when the wind blows through the trees.


What tree properties of a medium affect the speed of sound?

The speed of sound is affected by 3 properties: Elasticity and Density of the medium through which the sound waves travel, and the temperature of the medium. Media with higher elasticity, like iron, for instance, transmit sound faster. (Elasticity is the ability of a substance to return to its original shape after being deformed by a force applied to it. Rubber has high elasticity, too.)


Can lightning travel through a tree?

Yes, lightning can travel through a tree because trees contain water and nutrients that conduct electricity. When lightning strikes a tree, the electricity can flow through the tree's conductive tissues, such as sap and water, potentially causing damage to the tree.


If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it does it make sound partiles that travel at high speed causing the sound to vibrate in your ear?

Yeah, but I wouldn't say high speed. It depends on the size and weight of the tree in order to travel quickly. Also, you must be in the radius of where the tree falls.


How does planting of tree help in reducing the noise level?

because the plants can not travel the sound at distance

Which philosopher wrote if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

yes if a tree does fall in a forest it does make a sound because it is not a vacuum (where few or no particles are ; space) the air around it has matter and a medium so the compressions and rarefactions travel through a medium and create sound waves and the tree vibrates so the answer is yes if a tree falls in a forest it does make a sound.


If a tree falls down in a forest and nobodys around will it make a sound?

Yes, the falling tree will generate sound waves whether or not there is anyone there to hear them. Sound is a vibration that travels through the air, and the falling tree will create these vibrations regardless of whether someone is there to perceive them.


Why a sound is made the wind blows through the leaves on a tree?

Sound is caused by a vibration of the leaves. Depending on the shape and stiffness of the leaves, the sound will sound different. Also the speed of the wind will affect the loudness and pitch of the sound.
