What are the properties and behavior of sound waves in a vacuum?

∙ 11y ago
Sound cannot exist in a vacuum, as sound is the vibration though a substance, known as the medium. If no medium is present, no sound is transmitted.
In a vacuum, there are no or too few air molecules, that means there is no medium for the sound to exist in, thus there is no sound. It is also why you cannot hear much in space, as the molecules or individual atoms in space are so far apart.

What is the properties and behavior of sound waves in the air?
Sound waves are condensations and expansions of the material the sound wave in traveling in which can be gas (including air), liquid, or solid. For this reason you cannot have sound waves in a vacuum including space. Sound waves eminate concentrically from the source of the sound. amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed
What wave can not propagate in vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum. Air is needed for sound waves to travel and there is no air in vacuum.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No. Sound waves require air.
Sound waves do not trevals in which?
Vacuum

What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
What are the five properties used to explain the behavior of sound waves?
Speed Intensity Loudness Frequency Pitch :)
What wave can not propagate in vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum. Air is needed for sound waves to travel and there is no air in vacuum.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Can sound waves go through a vacuum?
No. Sound waves require air.
What can sound waves not travel in?
sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)
Do sound waves move in a vacuum?
No.
Sound waves do not trevals in which?
Vacuum
What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?
The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.
Where can sound waves not go?
Sound waves do not propagate in a vacuum, since they are basically vibrations (compressions and rarefactions) in a medium, and in a vacuum there is no matter to vibrate.
What medium can electromagnetic waves travel through that sound waves can not?
the answer is vacuum.
