Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
How sound waves travel through a material?
Vibrations travel through the material, just as they would in air. How well they travel through depends on the material.
Can sound travel through water or wood?
I am not sure about wood, but sound travels through water VERY well.
Can sound travel around corner?
Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.
What material does sounds not travel well through?
Sound doesn't travel through any gases very well, Sound travels 10 times faster and much further (about 20Km) in liquids, and sound travels even better in solids as particles are closer together. Just so you know, sound DOES NOT travel through a vacuum (e.g space).
Can sound waves travel through an elastic material?
Yes. And very rapidly as well, depending on the coefficient of elasticity. Metals, for example, tend to be highly elastic. Sound waves travel well through metal.
What is bad about sound energy?
The bad thing about sound energy is that it doesn't travel as well through air as it does through a solid such as wood, or water.
What objects does a sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most solid objects, as well as liquids. The vibrations transfer from molecule to molecule, but can be refracted or reflected by gaps or distortions within the matter.
Sound can travel through what?
nothingA sound wave is a mechanical wave that can travel through any gasses, liquids, or solids. sound waves can not travel in outer space because there is nothing for the wave to travel through.Sound is vibration. Thus, it travels through anything that has mass. While it can travel through the air, the travel time and the clarity get better and better as the object gets denser and denser. Seeing as space has no mass, sound cannot travel in space.
How fast does sound travel through liquids?
well, I've been told that it travels through water at about 3400mph.
How well does sound travel through different materials?
It travels fastest through solids, slowest through gases, and liquids are in the middle.
What factors are necessary for a sound wave to travel through a medium?
well sound actually always needs a medium so it can travel, in space there's is no sound because there isn't a medium it can travel through. but just about anything is a medium for sound. air is also a great medium, that's why were able to hear one another
