Sound in oxygen is slow moving, but sound in space is not possible(by space, I mean a vacuum)

Do sound waves vibrate the air?

No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.


Does air have sound?

Air itself does not produce sound, but sound travels through the air as a medium. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the air until they reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound.


Why is there no sound in a vaccuum?

sound is created because of vibrations in air. i.e The change of vibrations in air creates sound. In vacuum there is no air. So it is not possible to create sound in vaccum.


Do air molecules make sound?

No, air molecules themselves do not make sound. Sound is produced when an object vibrates and causes air molecules to vibrate around it, creating sound waves that travel through the air.


Does air absorb sound?

Yes, air can absorb sound to some extent. Sound waves travel through air by compressing and decompressing the air molecules. The absorption of sound in air increases with higher frequencies, longer distances, and the presence of obstacles in the sound path.


Can sound waves travel through air?

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.


What is the approximate velocity of the sound in air?

the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s


When sound travels through air the particles?

When sound travels through air, the particles in the air vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the sound wave. These vibrations create changes in air pressure that propagate through the air as sound waves.


What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases


Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?

No, the speed of sound in a medium like air is determined by the temperature of the air, not the frequency of the sound. In general, sound travels faster in warm air than in cool air because the molecules in warm air move faster and can transmit sound waves more quickly.


How does sound travel in air?

Sound Waves push air particles out of the way.Sound travels as a wave. each particle of air transfers the sound energy to the next.
