Why can't a sound wave travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave cannot travel through space because there is no air in space. Without a medium such as air, you can't hear sounds
What is the total distance that a p-wave will travel in 7 mintues and 20 seconds?
14
Phosphorus does not travel through one of the four spheres which one?
Phosphorus does not travel through the atmosphere.
Why does Creon say 'i have neither life nor substance' in the Exodos?
He has destroyed his own family through his pride.
How many degrees does the minute hand on a clock travel when it moves through one minute?
6 degrees.
What can sounds not travel through?
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can a wave move through a substance called a medium?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
Substance through which a wave is transmitted?
The substance through which a wave is transmitted is called a medium. The medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and it allows the wave to travel through it by transferring energy from one particle to the next. Examples of mediums include air for sound waves and water for ocean waves.
What it called when a wave passes through a substance?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
Does sound need to travel through material?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
Name for any substance through which waves travel?
I think the term is "medium" ie, "As the wave travels from one medium to the next..."
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
It is an electromagnetic wave.
What substance will a sound wave travel fastest through?
Sounds travels faster through denser materials. It is lowest in air, gets faster through water, faster yet through steel.
