What else can I help you with?
How many mediums can a sound wave pass through?
Solid, Liquid and Gas... These are the three things a sound wave can get trough... A sound-wave can get trough solid easily, because of all the particles, after that trough Liquid and at least trough Gas...
Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.
What mediums do sound move through?
Sound consists of a wave of vibrations of particles so it must have a material substance to pass through. So sound can pass through solids, liquids and gases but not through a vacuum. See http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/sound.htm
Matter which a wave travle?
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?
No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Unlike electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, sound waves need a material medium to transfer energy from one place to another.
What let a sound or light wave through?
vaccum chamber
What medium can a sound wave pass through?
Sound waves can pass through mediums such as air, water, and solids, as they require a material medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum as there are no particles for the waves to vibrate and travel through.
Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
No, the frequency of a sound wave is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. It represents how many times a sound wave repeats in a specific period of time, not the amount of energy passing through a unit area in a unit of time.
Are particles of matter carried along with a sound wave?
No, particles of matter are not carried along with a sound wave. Sound waves are created by the vibration of particles within a medium, which then pass the energy along through compression and rarefaction of the medium's particles. However, the particles themselves do not travel with the sound wave.
What is a sound reflecting off a surface or other material?
When a sound wave hits a surface, it may bounce back rather than pass through it. This bouncing of sound waves off a surface is called sound reflection. The angle at which the sound wave hits the surface affects how it reflects.
Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
