What else can I help you with?
Why is it impossible for sound to travel through outer space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid surfaces, to travel through. In outer space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space.
What type of material can travel through space?
Sound and Light can travel through space.
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
What type of waves travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.
Why can't sound travel through an empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid substance, to travel through. In an empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
How far can sound travel in space between astonauts?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?
No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.
How do you hear yourself in space without a space suit?
Sound cannot travel in empty space. But, sound may be able to travel through your body.
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?
The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.
