Sound waves are the sound. The waves cause vibrations in the objects that they collide with, and then the vibrated objects create more waves with their vibrations. An example of this would be listening to someone on the other side of a door.

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.

How do sound waves travel to a satellite?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.


Through what medium do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.


Sound waves do not travel through what?

Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.


What type of waves travel through space?

Sound waves cannot travel through space.


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.


Why can you not hear in a vacuum?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.
