No. They can travel through any object that is not in a vacuum. They can travel through air, through metal, through string, through water, etc.. However sound cannot travel through space. That is why it is the writer's discretion to include space ship sounds in movies such as Star Wars and Star Trek. They would in fact be silent in space.
What else can I help you with?
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.
Do sound waves only work in air, or can they travel through other mediums as well?
Sound waves can travel through other mediums besides air, such as water and solids.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No, sound waves require a medium like air, water, or solids to travel through. In a vacuum where there is no medium, sound waves cannot propagate.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Through what can sound waves travel?
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solids.
Through what do sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
What is the form that sound takes when it travels through air or water?
Waves, sound-waves
Sound waves travel only in the air?
No. They travel through water and solid objects also.
How does sound waves work to transmit information through the air?
Sound waves transmit information through the air by vibrating molecules in the air, creating changes in air pressure that travel as waves. These waves are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.
What are energy waves moving through the air?
Energy waves moving through the air are typically referred to as sound waves. These waves are produced when an object vibrates and causes the air molecules to also vibrate, creating variations in air pressure that propagate through the air as sound.
