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 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 it can
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
How do monkeys travel?
monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree monkeys travel by jumping tree to tree
Which philosopher wrote if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
The phrase "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is commonly attributed to the philosopher George Berkeley. However, it may have actually originated with the philosopher William of Ockham.
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.
If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explostion but not hear it why?
Because sound needs a material medium to travel through, and can't go anywhere through the vacuum of space. Besides, even if it could, it would take sound ... moving at the speed of sound ... 874 thousand years to cover one light year of distance. We'd still be hanging around waiting to hear the supernova that was discovered in 1054 AD.
Why sound is made when 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.
