What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
What travels faster through water light or sound?
Light travels faster through anything than sound does.Light also travels through a few things that sound can't.Light is around 150,000 times as fast.
Light travels faster in?
light travels faster in vacuum.
The speed of sound is fastest in what type of matter?
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explosion from a distance but why can you not hear it?
Light travels in vacuum but sound cannot. So, we can see solar flares but can't hear them. (Outer space can be considered to be vacuum)
Can you hear in a vacuum?
No. Since there is no air in a vacuum and sound travels only with the presence of air, you can't hear in a vacuum.
Sound travels in water?
Yes. Sound can travel in any medium. (except vacuum)
What is the ratio of speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of sound in air?
In a rough, round figure? 930,000 to 1. Sound travels roughly 1/5 of a mile per second in air. Light travels 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. In five seconds sound travels one mile. In five seconds, light travels 930,000 miles in a vacuum.
What happens when sound travels through a scienctific vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, scientific or any other kind
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
How does sound travels something?
Sound travels by making pressure waves. The wave travels through the substance at various speeds, depending how hard the substance is. In vacuum there is no pressure, so sound cannot travel.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.
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.
Write short note on sound energy?
Sound energy travels in linear formation. It travels through a medium like solid or through the air. In space sound does not travel because there is a vacuum.
Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
What can a medium travel thru?
Nothing (say a vacuum). The medium is what the sound travels through.
How fast does light travel than sound?
it is 3.5 billion times fast in a milli-second I don't know where this answer came from or what it means BUT - sound travels at roughly 700 mph in air at sea level; - light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum; - assuming we compare sound in air (as it can't travel in a vacuum) and light in a vacuum (as it can slow through a medium such as air or water), then light travels at 830,000 times the speed of sound.
