Sound Waves push air particles out of the way.


Sound travels as a wave. each particle of air transfers the sound energy to the next.

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.


Can sound travel through a room with no air?

No, sound cannot travel through a room with no air because sound waves need a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Without a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.


Do air particles travel with sound sound waves?

since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.


Why did astronauts who did experminets on the moon communicate with each other using walkie talkies even when they were right next to one another?

Sound needs to travel in medium like air, but there is no air in outer space, so sound is unable to travel. So basically sound needs air to travel, if there is no air sound cannot travel, when sound is unable to travel you cannot communicate (talk, speak, etc)


When is uni-lag pedIgree form coming out?

since the sound requires a medium to travel through. so the air is one of the medium for sound to travel. Therefore sound can travel through air.


What type of air does sound travel faster in?

Sound travels faster in moist air


What would sound travel LEAST efficiently in?

Sound would travel least efficiently in a vacuum because there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through. Sound waves rely on a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.


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.


How sound travel through air?

Sound travels because of the sound waves.


Would sound travel faster in warm air or cold air why?

The sound travel faster in warm air because the average mean speed of the molecules of air is faster in warm air than on cool air. Sound is transferred by collisions of molecules. Therefore sound waves will travel faster on warm air because collisions of molecules of air in warm air is greater.


What is a better carrier if sound?

Air is a better carrier of sound than vacuum. In air, sound waves can travel because air molecules can vibrate and transfer energy. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound waves, so sound cannot travel.


What does most of the sound you hear travel through?

Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.
