Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
Can sound wave travel through space?
No a sound wave can't travel through space because in space there is no air and sound waves need a medium to pass though. If you don't know what a medium is, it is something the waves or rays travel through. If you have ever watched a rocket blast off and you couldn't here the rocket make any noise once it left Earth that is why.
What are the differences between water waves and sound waves?
sound waves are created by things that make sounds like sombody speaking or instruments. water waves are created by wind.
Why would a phone not make a sound in space?
You can't hear sound in space
Why does resonance make sound louder?
Because the constructive interference of the sound waves.
Sound waves cannot travel in outer space True or false?
no trust me there isn't don't make me go in to explaning it
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
How do drums sound in space?
Most likely gravity believe it or not, the sound waves travel differently :)
Does a hammer make a sound when it hits a rock in space?
Yes, the potential for sound is made by the energy of the impact - (sound will occur in the hammer and in the rock), BUT the sound never leaves the hammer/rock as there is no air in space though which the sound waves can propagate.
What do two sound waves make?
Two sound waves may make an interference pattern.
Why are we unable to hear sound in outer space?
There is no sound in outer space because space is a vacuum. Sound needs matter to travel through and vibrate in order for us to hear it. Air vibrates in our ears to make us hear sound. Since space has no air we wouldn't be able to hear anything.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
Explain why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?
In space there is no air. Sound waves need a medium for transportation. Therefore we cannot hear any sound in a vacuum. In films they play us music from the outer space. But that is not possible in reality.
Can sound waves travel through air?
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
What sounds do Neptune make?
All the stars and the planets make no sound out there in vacuum. Any sound waves use a medium like air, water or any solid. A vacuum, like space, does not contain any particles; therefore sound waves have no medium through which to travel and thus sound will not travel or be heard.
Can you use sound waves like a rocket to move through space in a ship of some kind so can sound waves propel you forward in space?
Sound can only move through matter. For example, when you speak, the vibration of your vocal chords create vibrations in the air, and each vibrating air molecule causes adjacent air molecules to vibrate, and those air molecules make other air molecules vibrate, and so on as the air "propagates" the sound waves. Space is a vacuum, so sound cannot travel through space.
What kind of waves make soft sound?
higher waves
