Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate.

In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.

What else can I help you with?

Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so you would not be able to hear any sound your friend makes on the moon. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through, and the moon does not have an atmosphere like Earth.


How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.


How does the speed of sound change in a vacuum?

sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)


What do you hear when an alarm clock rings in a vacuum?

Nothing! Sound is wave and needs a medium to pass through in order to be heard !!!Nothing, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.


Does sound travel up or down in a vacuum?

Sound does not travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is no material for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot travel up or down in a vacuum.


Where will sound not travel?

vacuum


Can sound travle to space?

Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum


Why is sound not able to travel in a vacuum?

Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.


Can you hear in a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so no one would be able to hear anything in a vacuum.


Is vacuum the sound that travels best?

No: worst. Sound cannot travel though a vacuum.


How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?

The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.


What sound cant travel through?

sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
