Sound can still travel through fewer particles because it propagates by causing the particles to vibrate and pass the energy along. Even in sparser mediums, such as in outer space, sound can still travel through the few particles present, but it may not propagate as effectively as in denser mediums like air or water.
What else can I help you with?
Give the effect of density on velocity of sound?
As density increases, the velocity of sound increases because there are more particles for the sound wave to travel through. Conversely, if the density decreases, the velocity of sound will also decrease because there are fewer particles for the sound wave to travel through.
Can sound travel were there is no particles?
No, sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. In a vacuum where there are no particles, sound cannot travel because there is no medium for the vibrations to propagate through.
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
No, sound energy can travel through mediums like air, water, or solids, where it causes particles in the medium to vibrate and carry the sound wave. However, sound cannot propagate through a vacuum as it requires a medium to transmit its energy.
How does sound go through objects?
Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate. When a sound wave encounters a material, the particles in the material vibrate and transfer the sound energy through the medium. The denser the material, the faster sound will travel through it.
Give the effect of density on velocity of sound?
As density increases, the velocity of sound increases because there are more particles for the sound wave to travel through. Conversely, if the density decreases, the velocity of sound will also decrease because there are fewer particles for the sound wave to travel through.
Why cant sound travel through outer?
Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
Can sound travel were there is no particles?
No, sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. In a vacuum where there are no particles, sound cannot travel because there is no medium for the vibrations to propagate through.
Is a sound travel ina vacue?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound moves by vibrating particles of a solid, liquid, or a gas. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it.

Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
No, sound energy can travel through mediums like air, water, or solids, where it causes particles in the medium to vibrate and carry the sound wave. However, sound cannot propagate through a vacuum as it requires a medium to transmit its energy.
Can sound waves travel through steel?
Yes sound waves are made from vibrating atoms or particles and so any medium which contains particles can allow a sound wave to travel through it. The only thing a sound wave cannot travel through is a vacuum.
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
How does sound go through objects?
Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate. When a sound wave encounters a material, the particles in the material vibrate and transfer the sound energy through the medium. The denser the material, the faster sound will travel through it.
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
Is vacuum the sound that travels best?
No: worst. Sound cannot travel though a vacuum.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
