What else can I help you with?
Can light and sound travel through space?
light can but sound cant as there is no air
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
Why cant you hear one one another in space in space?
Sound needs something to travel through. That's usually air on Earth. Space is a vacuum - therefore, sound cannot travel through it.
Why can't sound waves travel though space?
sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas
Why cant you hear each other in space?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In space, there is a near-vacuum with very few particles to carry sound waves. Therefore, without a medium to propagate through, sound cannot travel in space.
Why cant you here in space?
Because there is no atmosphere in space, therefore nothing can carry the sound waves of your vocal cords. Sound relies on pressure waves moving through air. Therefore, in the absolute vacuum of space, no sound can be heard at all.
Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?
no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.
What are some disadvantages of sound?
it can be too loud and too quiet, it cant be heard in space, it travels through the air at a different speed than it does through water
Why cant sound travel through outer?
Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
Why can light waves travel through a vacuum but water waves cannot?
That is correct. Light is a moving electromagnetic wave, and the energy it contains is carried in the moving electric and moving magnetic components of the wave. Light can move through a vacuum, and it would rather go through that than air or anything else (which scatters the energy). Sound is mechanical energy, and the energy of the sound is transferred into the medium through which it is travelling. As the energy of sound is carried by the medium, the vacuum of space will not support a sound wave.
If a bell is ringing in a bell jar you cant hear it when the air is pumped out but you see it what differences in properties of sound and light does this indicate?
That sound cannot move through a vaccum.
