Sound waves need air or another material to travel through, or they go nowhere.

Astronauts do their job in places without air, so they couldn't be heard by simply

talking.

Why do astronauts use radio waves instead of sound waves to communicate in space?

sound needs something to travel through and space has no air for it to travel


Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


If sound needs a medium to travel how do astronauts in space speak to people on the ground What kind of energy conversion is involved?

Astronauts communicate with people on the ground through radio waves, which do not require a medium to travel through space. This is an example of the conversion of sound energy into electromagnetic energy for transmission. On the ground, the electromagnetic waves are converted back into sound waves that we can hear.


What is is radio sound heard through the use of?

Radio sound is heard through the use of radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves that can carry information from one point to another. These waves are transmitted from a radio station and received by a radio receiver, such as a radio or smartphone, which then converts the waves into sound waves that we can hear.


What is the objective of travel faster radio waves or sound waves?

sound waves


How can astronauts communicate with earth if sound does not travel in a vacuum?

Astronauts communicate with Earth using radio waves, which can travel through the vacuum of space. Radio signals are transmitted from spacecraft to ground stations on Earth, enabling astronauts to communicate in real-time with mission control and other support teams.


Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?

False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.


Why do astronauts who land on moon talk through wireless sets using radio waves?

Sound needs air to travel through, and as there's no air on the moon. Astronauts have to use radios to talk to each other when in an envrionment without air. Radio waves travel through space and have no trouble traveling where there's no air.


Are radio waves a form of sound or light?

When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.


How messages are carried by radio waves?

by the sound waves


Why can't you hear sound in space?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so it is impossible for sound to propagate. Astronauts can communicate with each other and with mission control through radio waves instead.
